Has anyone else here experimented on the Linux environment provided by the Termux app?

I'm posting from it right now and have made a few interesting discoveries:

*All modern Android versions lock down the serial line and require rooting to access it. (boo)
*Compiling applications is not as straightforward
*Anything that requires sudo is basically off limits because that also requires rooting.

I haven't yet tried to fire up a GUI environment from within Termux. That's on the back burner until the github conversation about SyncTerm finds a way to get it to compile without needing root privileges to do so.
