wtf is termux-desktop-awesome?

Termux-Desktop-Awesome turns an Android phone running Termux, a terminal app, into something that looks and behaves like a full desktop computer environment. It combines Termux with the Awesome window manager and a widget system called Eww to give you movable windows, keyboard shortcuts, and a customizable wallpaper picker, all running directly on your phone. You install it with a single command that updates Termux, installs some required packages, and then runs a Python installer script followed by a startup script. Once running, everything is controlled with keyboard shortcuts rather than touch, similar to how many Linux desktop setups work: you can close windows, open a terminal, take screenshots, move and resize floating windows, and switch between different saved profiles, all with combinations of the ctrl and alt keys. It uses the catppuccin mocha color theme and lets you change your wallpaper by pressing a couple of keys. Because this is a fairly heavy setup running on a phone, the README warns you to back up your files first and recommends having at least 5 gigabytes of free storage before installing it. It also explains, in detail, a known Android problem where the operating system can kill background processes if too many are running at once, which can cause Termux sessions to end unexpectedly on Android 12 and newer. The README walks through several ways to work around this, using either a connected computer with ADB, a rooted phone, or a Magisk module, along with the exact commands needed for each approach. The README also documents a full table of keyboard shortcuts for controlling windows, switching profiles, and using the launcher, plus screenshots showing what the finished desktop looks like across a few example profiles. This project is aimed at people who are already comfortable with Termux and Linux style terminal environments, not casual phone users.
