You can install Termux from the F-droid store, which is a Android terminal emulator and Linux environment. Then install the proot-distro package and you can install stuff like Ubuntu, Debian, Arch…

you dont even need a rooted device.

As OP said, you use Termux. You can use AnLinux or Andronix for easier setup with Termux. You will likely also need a VNC Viewer to actually see and use the desktop. It’s been a while, so I don’t recall exactly how to do it, sorry.

XFCE really is it isn’t it? I first tried it when I got my CDs in the mail for Mandrake/Mandriva Linux back in 2002 or so and am still using it today!

Hoping for Wayland support soon
