As an alternative to the VNC method suggested here, there's also the Termux-X11 add-on[1].
In my experience, VNC is more stable, but when Termux-X11 works, it feels snappier than VNC, and the resolution of the Linux environment is automatically scaled to the available screen space you have (making portrait/landscape switches and soft keyboards feel seamless)

- tetris11 3y agoHow do you get X11 to work though. Don't you need an X11 server running on top of the existing Android display server?
- MayeulC 3y agoBah, just an X server (or minimal reimplementation) running in an app, that then renders to its top-level surface. What I would really like to see is an Android back end implementation for wlroots. Or alternatively, a small Android(/termux) app that just acts as a simple Wayland compositor, that compositors can then use as a back-end. I found an issue about this some time ago, but can't find it anymore.
