Linux on Android
(feddit.de)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting. I'll give arch a try when I get a chance for a second data point.
Edit: Okay, wow! This is definitely the route to take if you want a wide range of programs available for installation. I'm trying this out on another android tablet that I have around the house and it looks like I could potentially replicate my desktop setup. With something like this available, I can see why the Termux developers would keep their x11 repository trimmed down.
