I mean, it is not a fault on Linux’s end. We have all the tools we need in the form of wine and dxvk, it’s the game which fails to work due to some obscure dependency or a mandatory rootkit. One great example is genshin- the game itself works flawlessly, but it has a rootkit which obviously does not work on Linux and you have to patch it out.
Termux yeah. I use it everyday. So here is a (long) list
Use ffmpeg to convert videos or even edit it(with current 6.x version, mediacoded hwaccel is availiable)
yt-dlp
Use vim and emacs, maybe code something
Integrate it with other plugin apps like Termux:API(lots of system apis), Termux:Boot, Termux:Float(floating terminal), Termux:Widget, even Termux:X11 For running gui apps
You can run gui apps with other X servers like XSDL
Compile and run programs that is not availiable for arm(Worst thing, but i still does it. Much hassle and error prone, but fine for smaller programs)
Use ssh to connect to other devices
Install x11-repo and thus install xfce and firefox desktop(for fun)
Install proot-distro and use distros like debian, arch, ubuntu, manjaro, void, fedora, etc. which is cli only by default but you can install any DE.(You can combine display server from XSDL)
Use git, clone a repo, make changes, use it or push commit, whatever you do with git
Use your normal standard linux commands to browse thru your filesystem and make changes
neofetch, cpufetch, rxfetch, htop, gotop, cmatrix and hollywood for lolz
tmux, byobu or gnu screen
Tar, gzip and all coreutils
cryptomining(DON’T do that)
Test your webpage locally (php -S localhost:port)
Ahem I wasted a lot of time making this list i think i have to go now lol
There are tons of clipboard managers for Linux. I used clipit and copyq but there are more.
Funny story: some desktop support guy came to do something on my laptop. He opened some remote file, copied admins password, pasted it into login prompt, did his things, selected some random texts and pressed ctrl+c couple of times. I asked him if that was to clear the password and he says that yes. I’m like… look here, and I clicked in my clipboard manager icon and the password is there in the history. LoL.
