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.

Yes I suppose that is right. I hadnt considered that the hosts would also be stored locally. Termius' home screen has my saved hosts arranged by alias and I tap on whichever server I want and it connects without password because I already set up ssh keys. And if I add a new host it syncs with the other instances of the app on my tablet, phone, laptop, and desktop. In fact, it's so handy that I often reach for my android tablet with attached keyboard to fiddle with the servers.
A similar system can be achieved using a synced
.sshfolder, along with a.ssh/configfile. The folder will have all the keys, and the config file will have the aliases aka bookmarks. Then you can do something likessh media_server, and login without entering a password.For the actual terminal emulators, I can recommend Alacritty for desktop OSes and Termux on Android.
Or you could use a separate key on each device.
