A shell-script-based installer that sets up a full native Linux desktop environment (Xfce, LXQt, Openbox, etc.) on Android via Termux with Termux:X11 or optional VNC. It also configures hardware acceleration drivers, an app store, and proot/chroot distro containers for running additional software.
Use cases
- install a linux desktop environment on android
- run xfce on termux
- enable hardware acceleration in termux x11
- access a graphical desktop on android via vnc
- run a proot distro container on android
- turn an android phone into a linux desktop
When to choose
- you want a native GUI desktop on an Android device without rooting
- you want hardware-accelerated graphics under Termux:X11
- you want a one-command installer with themes and an app store included
When to avoid
- you use the Google Play version of Termux (unsupported due to API limitations)
- your Android version is below 8.0
- you need a fully tested, production-grade desktop rather than a community setup script
