In cases like that, it's better to work on a remote PC or server, as a desktop operating system can be more flexible. While Android is a capable platform on its own, its security features can sometimes break the functionality of Linux programs. Upgrading also allows you to integrate with Amazon AWS, plus store commands and scripts as snippets you can quickly access between sessions. JuiceSSH also has some premium features available with a one-time purchase, such as the ability to back up and synchronize all your saved connections and settings between multiple devices. There's also a plugin to use JuiceSSH with Tasker profiles, letting you take advantage of Tasker's powerful automation capabilities.

Among these plugins you'll find a performance monitor showing you the CPU, memory, network, and disk usage of your Linux server. Within the app, you can install plugins to expand JuiceSSH's functionality. You can't install any extra packages though, so you're limited to a minimal Linux environment. JuiceSSH also comes with the ability to open a shell locally, giving you access to Bash and its standard utilities.

This allows you to run real Linux applications, like GIMP, as if they were on a PC.

With the proper commands, a window manager, and a VNC viewer, you can install a graphical environment within Termux. That's not all: you can also grab tools like FFmpeg and ImageMagick, plus programming languages like C, Ruby, Perl, and Python. Through the package manager, you can install other shells like Zsh or fish, source code editors like Vim and Emacs, and an SSH client and server. Like a typical Linux system, Termux has a package manager, which is arguably Termux's greatest strength. Termux also gives you the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and arrow keys on its interface, making it easier to input keyboard shortcuts if you don't have a real keyboard on hand. You're given a Bash shell by default, and most of the Linux commands and utilities work as expected. When you install Termux, you get what's essentially a minimal Linux system running on your Android device as an app. Termux is more than just a terminal emulator it's an entire Linux environment.
