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.

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.
So you're sandboxing the app to prevent any calls home? Am I understanding that correctly? I haven't had to interact with their support at all but found the cross platform continuity to be nice for a newbie. I know I can do all of this on whatever terminal emulator is installed on the different devices, just looking for something like Termius feature-wise, but is less expensive, maybe FOSS if possible, and allow me to have more control of my data by using something like Syncthing? Might be too tall of an order though.
No sandboxing because I'm only using it on one device with no saved details....
