    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😇

        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.

              Just saying, proot exists on Termux, too!
              And Termux has Android hooks!

              Not saying you should switch; please keep your love for your favorite app bubbling away! <3

                  Have to be honest! My own Termux install is 7 GiB! Used to be 8 with Debby on it. Used to be 3 since after uninstalling Debian. I had also cleaned out files. Will have to see why it’s 7 now.

                  Used to have a friend with a Fedora install that put Termux at 20 for them LOL.

                  Should use just Debian maybe, unless the Termux package is preferred. But having sudo is awesome!

                  Also I think I tried and uninstalled UserLAnd like two weeks ago because it wasn’t as smooth as I expected, I think.

                  Not saying anything bad about you, I must reconsider because you said so!!!
