There is an official emacs port to Android or you could use Termux which installs and runs Debian packages. Android 16 has a built-in Linux "terminal" that runs Debian in a virtual machine but I'm not sure if it works on all phones or just the latest Pixels. It's hidden so you have to do something odd to activate it. Use your favorite search engine for more details.

@k8quinn That's good to hear, I'll consider switching. I don't have android 16, though, so I won't be able to do it that way.

I had asked about Doom running in Doom Emacs earlier and it left me wondering, what uses are there for Emacs besides things like coding? I don't code at all or use the terminal aside from some simple installations, running something from it if it doesn't run from the GUI shortcut, and just barely managing to compile protracker 2.3d clone once. I know about using it for writing, which I had planned on doing, but settled on obsidian then Joplin since it was open source so I could write on my pc...
