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.

Cross platform terminal emulator? (lemmy.ml)

Is Termius the only cross platform emulator that includes Android as one of the platforms? It is quite good, in my limited experience, but too expensive for a hobbiest. I like that I can use my Linux desktop, MacOS laptop, and Android tablet/phone and the UX is the same across them all. The sync (trial for free, then charge) is great. But I'd be fine if it was something where I could DIY a sync method with something like Syncthing.

I'm aware of the likes of Alacritty, but no mobile app. And of course Termux is great for mobile, but no desktop versions.

It all boils down to wanting some sort of sync function either DIY or otherwise that includes hosts and SSH keys and while not as important, I do like the consistent UX between platforms. Is there something else to consider?

Terminus IMO is utter crap, their sales team are useless and didn't want to engage with me in a useful non-automated way. Their 'Linux' support is actually just a Ubuntu based deb installer which you need to manipulate to be useful on other distros. I am also very cautious of their cloud sync which holds your passwords and keys especially since it doesnt use your systems defaults on Linux.

However it is currently the best ssh client I can install on android via Google play on a device I can't sideload Juice onto, I just don't let it remember passwords and keys.

Why do you need to sideload JuiceSSH, rather than install from the play store?

Because if your android forces the newer android security contexts for storage, it won't install.
