I’ve used Termux with proot-distro to install Debian with xfce4 on my Android phone.

I can use it on a monitor with a usb-c to hdmi cable, or just vnc into it from a PC, or use the phone itself with RVNC to have a desktop “in hands”.

Sensor data is sadly not working properly, so no CPU usage and temperatures are a bit off as well.

    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

      Nooo Wayland, it doesn’t work on android…it’s gonna break my emergency workstation xD

      Tbh, I wanted to install gnome3, 'cause well…it’s basically a mobile desktop, the interface is very touch friendly. But it doesn’t work cause Wayland, and it would probably be a lot heavier to run.
