Are there any? I could find proprietary apps doing it from Google’s PlayStore but I really rather use a FOSS alternative if there are any. I tried searching on F-Droid and I couldn’t find any.

    Don’t you need to give Termux too many permissions (for obvious reasons and well justified sincd it’s a terminal emulator)? That’s the only thing keeping me away from Termux, I’m not very familiar with it and I don’t feel comfortable going ahead onto an app like that since I’d use it exclusively for this purpose. Thanks for the suggestion though (I didn’t know you could run vim/nano from there, interesting, by the way). For anyone reading this and don’t think this way I do and want to give it a try, here are some Termux official webpages:

      Afaik, Termux is an actual Linux system made for Android’s file system and that runs inside an app, so it actually can do a whole lot more, provided there’s a tool ported for what you want. It can even run some graphical distros.

      Termux is just a Linux environment that is created by setting the PATH variables
