Ext4 partition is recognized when mounting/using Termux with root. But the majority of Android apps don't see Ext4 partitions.
And ExFat is not included in Android 7.1 @ Gemini.

Or am I wrong on this, and is there a solution for this? (apart from linking up some external BT pointing device)
On Debian there's this solution :
Touchscreen as touchpad - relative mouse input
that works very well, all the 6" inch screen is a large touchpad, with some gestures working as right mouse click, etc.

And USB-C->USB-A cable with USB mouse works very well on Android 7.1 and Debian @ Gemini.
