minus-squareAuster@thebrainbin.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoWent to double-check both things. About root, I think I got it confused with two different things at the same time, termux-setup-storage, and the external storage specifically requiring root to work (first paragraph after the data table). About (not) being a Linux distro, reading deeper into it, it sounds a lot like DOSBox, which is also a terminal emulator which can run programs for the system it pretends to be while using the host system’s file system.
minus-squarehexagonwin@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agokinda a small nitpick but it’s not really like dosbox, dosbox is a full x86 emulator. termux is basically a terminal emulator (like xterm, konsole, alacritty) that comes with unixy tools compiled in the native android toolchain.
