This would be fine for running the odd Go utility, but is likely to be insufficient if you're doing anything with the actual Android API (which termux has been great at). And of course, in the long term this is just another reason for me to hope the pinephone gets to prod-ready ASAP:)

I am curious what root kit you use for rooting your droid? I’ve always been hesitant to trust 3rd party kits like that.

I use magisk; it's open source and reputable.
