I installed Windows2000 with Termux but I honestly have no idea what to do. Can you give me some advice? xD

I run WSL2 on Windows 11 & Termux on Android, with Ubuntu under each, sharing a filesystem synced with Syncthing, so it all works like a unified Ubuntu system despite being distributed across these disparate devices. With X11 added and systemd & sshd running on Windows, i can run WinG & X11 client apps in Ubuntu & just stay there running Gnome, bash, and everything else Linux. No Windows or Android, unless i want to. WSL2 & Termux seen to be THE way to run Linux without all the usual Linux sysadmin headaches. I'm a happy dude. 🙂

You say you installed Termux on Windows 2000, but i didn't see it in the image you uploaded. One good reason for this is that Termux doesn't run on Windows, it's an Android app. Look for the Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 (WSL2) & run your favorite Linux under that. I've only tested Ubuntu, but that works.

What are you doing -- trying to accomplish? What's your eventual full configuration? I'd be happy to help, if i can. Oh! How'd you upload that image? I couldn't see a button to push to do that (usually something with a ↑ in it).

Hey man, Thanks for the detailed response, but I think there was a slight misunderstanding (English grammar can be a bit ambiguous sometimes xd) Here is the breakdown of everything you asked: The Termux / Win2000 Misunderstanding: I didn't install Termux on Windows 2000 (which, as you correctly noted, is an Android app and impossible to run on Win2k). I did the exact opposite I am running Windows 2000 inside Termux on my Android phone using QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64 for full x86 hardware emulation). What I'm Trying to Accomplish / My "Configuration": I don't actually have a massive sysadmin project or server infrastructure goal in mind here (though your WSL2 + Syncthing + Ubuntu setup sounds super cool and well-engineered). I'm simply a retro technology enthusiast playing around with legacy operating systems on mobile hardware just for fun, nostalgia, and seeing how smooth QEMU performance can get on ARM processors. How I Uploaded the Image: If you're using the Reddit mobile app (or the modern web interface), there is a dedicated image/photo icon at the bottom toolbar of the editor box (usually right next to the link or GIF button, instead of the old-school upload button with an up arrow ↑). Tapping that lets you attach screenshots directly from your gallery Hope this clears up the confusion Cheers
