ubuntu-on-android (udroid) is a tool that installs pre-configured Ubuntu filesystems with desktop environments and development tools on Android devices via Termux and PRoot, without requiring root. It provides a CLI manager to install, log into, and remove Ubuntu suites (e.g., jammy:xfce4) with display support through VNC or Termux:X11.

Use cases

  • run ubuntu on my android phone without root
  • install a linux desktop environment in termux
  • use vscode and dev tools on android via proot
  • set up xfce4 or gnome on a smartphone easily
  • get a preconfigured ubuntu chroot on android
  • run linux gui apps on android with vnc

When to choose

  • you want a one-command, preconfigured Ubuntu desktop on a non-rooted Android device
  • you want desktop environments and dev tools bundled instead of manual proot setup
  • you want multiple Ubuntu suites (22.04-26.04) manageable via a simple CLI

When to avoid

  • you need a real kernel or hardware-level virtualization rather than proot
  • you need root-level features or systemd services
  • you want a supported production Linux environment rather than a hobbyist setup
