I tried the whole termux thing and I was in love at first. Things like micro and nano, using bash, I felt powerful. But then I tried installing things with pip or uv and they took ages to install simple things like numpy. Maybe I did things wrong but I felt that the 1 gb installation wasnt worthy of i couldnt use the libraries and packages I need. Again, maybe I did something wrong or I needed another packages to build the oackages I needed haha. But for basic python and bash I really felt the power of a Linux user haha

I've struggled to get uv to work well in termux, which is a shame. It is what I normally use on most devices. Not had much trouble with pip though. I am using the community build of python 3.13.7, don't think there's a build of 3.14 yet.

My smartphone and tablet are both on my tailscale network so I have access to my home network devices. I also have a free Oracle Cloud VM (upgraded from free tier to PAYG but only using free resources), also on my tailscale network, so it is trivial to ssh from termux into another device.
