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

I actually am currently trying to ssh into my main pc and hopefully in the future into my server i started to setup today but i am struggling with the use of keys. Got any good tutorials you can recommend?

I found this from a search.

I don't usually use manual keys but uses password to connect to ssh servers. Like ssh -p port user@ip and it promts to trust it then you have to enter your password. I have barely set up ssh servers but have connected ssh servers many times
