   I'm messing with Termux on Android 14. Here are some very general questions.

   - If I want to build an app in Rust and deploy it to Termux, is this hard and what build target do I select?

   - If I run an app in Termux that uses audio, like I just compile a CPAL app, will it work?

   - Can I install a Rust development environment on this thing lol

     @mcc Android is working toward a native terminal (cf., https://www.androidpolice.com/android-linux-terminal/), but pending that, Termux is only half-baked. However, there used to be an app called UserLAnd (cf., https://userland.tech/download/) that afforded users the ability to install full Linux distros, even with desktop environments. While it hasn't been updated in a minute, it still works! You might consider exploring UserLAnd, as you'd have more flexibility to do what you are asking.
