I'd argue that if you were set on using something like Termux, you're already in the class of users who are most likely to be running custom Roms (eg, LineageOS) or having a modified stock image (Magisk, Root, etc)
One of the workarounds for those affected calls for making SELinux permissive.
SELinux, of course, only works on a Linux kernel.

But, apparently, Android isn't Linux..................
Just another example of how people try too hard to create goalposts to say Android isn't Linux when those goalposts don't exist for anything else.
- pjmlp 5y agoPlease provide the Android documentation how to access LinuxSE on non-rooted devices, you know those that regular consumers actually buy and app developers get their income from. Just another example on how Linux die hards try to make juice out of lemons, to pivot Linux dominance on consumer devices.
- techrat 5y agoLook, the goalposts are moving again. I wonder how that keeps happening... I can't see what replying with "how to access LinuxSE on non-rooted devices" has ANYTHING to do with my comment that you previously replied to unless you're just trying to be disingenuous. I specifically mentioned that a typical use case of someone affected by the changes breaking Termux are users *most likely to be the type that will run a custom rom or root mode.* "Regular consumers" don't give a flying fuck if Android is Linux or whether or not they can run Termux.
