Hello!!
The difference between UserLAnd and Termux is that UserLAnd does not force you to use only one distro (ex. Package Manager and etc.) like Termux - Termux uses apt with their own Repo’s that might not have new package versions.
Using UserLAnd, you could install any distro on your phone! Kind of like it… It feels right how it should be😇
Hello!!
I feel like Termux is kind of bloated and it also uses it’s own repo, and only apt package manager.
Using UserLAnd, you will be able to install any distro, whichever you want, with any config.
Is UserLAnd still maintained? Assuming I found the right forge, the last activity is 4 years old. While I agree that a piece of software can simply be finished, I worry about compatibility in the moving ecosystem of Android.
Great one, love it! But I would recommend UserLAnd instead of Termux🥰
Never heard of that. I’ll try it out, but let me know the differences.

Well akshually, Termux can use pacman 🤓
Requires a bit of tinkering though, so I guess I should really check out UserLAnd.
Well if we’ll think of it like that any GNU/Linux distro can have extra package manager! But most of the times it’s just unstable workaround.
This is different than just installing pacman with apt and then using that. Termux provides a different bootstrap package that you will have to use.
Well… Anyway! UserLAnd has kind of more freedom.
Just saying,
prootexists on Termux, too!And Termux has Android hooks!
Not saying you should switch; please keep your love for your favorite app bubbling away! <3
I know, I know. But this became kind of bloated
An actual Linux distro has option like flatpak, nix, distrobox
Could you elabotrate why?
