From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have it kill slack and zoom when their buggy ass resource leaking shit grinds your system to a halt.
Luckily i never had to use them for school as my government recognized thier insecurities, and i prob won't need to use them for my job as i am a mechanic (albeit for construction machinery)

@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can't use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.
Maybe an app like FakeStandby would work.
If your device has an AMOLED screen it should be basically the same as having the screen turned off. You could just disable the screen timeout and use FakeStandby to turn off all the pixels without actually "turning off" the screen
@poweruser Sadly it doesn't have an AMOLED screen (cheap samsung tablet) but as a last resort it might be worth a shot. Thanks
If you just turn off the battery optimization for Termux It won't happen.
@kionite231 Was the first thing I tried. Termux even has a "wake lock" function but that also doesn't seem to prevent it.
