A collection of dotfiles and setup scripts that install a full graphical Linux desktop environment (Openbox/XFCE with Polybar) inside Termux on Android devices. It automates package installation and configuration to turn a phone or tablet into a desktop-like Linux environment.

Use cases

  • set up a linux desktop on my android phone with termux
  • run a gui environment in termux without rooting
  • make termux look beautiful with openbox and polybar
  • access a desktop environment on android via vnc
  • turn my android tablet into a linux workstation
  • install xfce desktop in termux with one script

When to choose

  • you want a pre-configured, visually polished desktop in Termux with minimal manual setup
  • you're on an older Android version (around Android 10) where Termux works reliably
  • you like riced Openbox/Polybar setups and want them on mobile

When to avoid

  • you're on a newer Android version where Termux itself is broken or restricted
  • you need actively maintained software with ongoing support and fixes
  • you want a full native Linux desktop rather than a Termux-based environment
