Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
It can absolutely be compiled, and you can install it but you either have to use adb or wait 24 hours
I mean, yes it can, but installing any packages won’t work. Every binary that you wish to run on Android 10 or higher must be included inside the app, so
aptnaturally fails, and compiling your code inside Termux will also fail.Isn’t the 24 hour wait a one-time thing anyway? Or did they change that?
I thought it was per apk, but I could be wrong

Once you go through all the steps, including a 24 hour wait, it says you’ll have the option to install unverified APKs indefinitely. It’s a bit of a process, but it honestly doesn’t sound too bad.
