As of today yes, but who knows about tomorrow. Termux might be facing a harsh future given the changes in Android 10.[0]
Actually switching to a pure Linux phone and might be the more viable long-term solution.

- anderspitman 6y agoThis is important, but sadly a lot of people don't seem to notice/care what Google is doing to Android. The question in my mind is whether the quality of devices like the Pinephone can get high enough before the functionality of Android drops below a point where certain things simply become impossible.
