Termux is an open-source terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android. The app can be installed directly from F-Droid without any special requirements. With the bundled package manager 'APT,' many well-known Linux programs can be installed in a way familiar to Linux users.

The presentation will include an overview of Termux, its components, and functions, along with numerous examples of how to use Termux and for which scenarios it excels as an ultra-portable system.

Glow has been using Termux since 2015. They have packaged many programs themselves and contributed to core components. They set up the Termux Wiki and continue to maintain it to this day.

The presentation will be held in English.
