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.

    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.
