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.

Honestly you don't need root. You can enable root (assuming you are already running a custom ROM) but that should not be needed.
But who decides what I need? For instance, I want to toggle airplane mode. Without root: not allowed.
You can toggle air plane mode
Incorrect. Wifi only without root.
Well then I guess my device is the exception then. I have an airplane mode toggle
Then your device must be powered by magic, or more likely it's not a recent Android version. That the toggle is there does not mean it works: it doesn't work without root.
I'm running almost the the latest version (Android 14) and the toggle works. Why wouldn't it work? People need to be able to put there devices in airplane mode when they get on an airplane.
This conversation was about doing things with Termux
Why would you want to toggle air plane mode with Termux? That's doesn't make sense.
I see your point though. I misunderstood
You would think of some reasons if you tried very hard. The point is that it's my device and I shouldn't have to beg permission.
