Linux Deploy
Installing and running a GNU/Linux distribution on your Android device
This application is open source software for quick and easy installation of the operating system (OS) GNU/Linux on your Android device.The application creates a disk image on a flash card, mounts it and installs an OS distribution. Applications of the new system are run in a chroot environment and working together with the Android platform. All changes made on the device are reversible, i.e. the application and components can be removed completely. Installation of a distribution is done by downloading files from official mirrors online over the internet. The application requires superuser rights (ROOT).The program supports multi language interface. You can manage the process of installing the OS, and after installation, you can start and stop services of the new system (there is support for running your scripts) through the UI. The installation process is reported as text in the main application window. During the installation, the program will adjust the environment, which includes the base system, SSH server, VNC server and desktop environment. The program interface can also manage SSH and VNC settings.Installing a new operating system takes about 15 minutes. The recommended minimum size of a disk image is 1024 MB (with LXDE), and without a GUI - 512 MB. When you install Linux on the flash card with the FAT32 file system, the image size should not exceed 4095 MB! After the initial setup the password for SSH and VNC generated automatically. The password can be changed through "Properties -> User password" or standard OS tools (passwd, vncpasswd).FEATURES:Supported distributions: Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, Arch, Fedora, CentOS, Slackware, Docker, RootFS (tgz, tbz2, txz)Installation type: file, partition, RAM, directorySupported file systems: ext2, ext3, ext4Supported architectures: ARM, ARM64, x86, x86_64, emulation mode (ARM ~ x86)I/O interfaces: CLI, SSH, VNC, X server, framebufferManagement interfaces (CLI): Android terminal (or adb), telnet, web browser (web terminal)Desktop environment: XTerm, LXDE, Xfce, MATE, other (manual configuration)Supported languages: multi language interfaceNOTICE:Instructions and guides: https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy/wikiAsk questions on the forum: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=378043Previous versions: https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy/releasesFor access to a repository: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.donateDonations: https://meefik.github.io/donateATTENTION!This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Works perfectly on my rooted Samsung Tab S8 Ultra! You may have to review the documentation, as some of the configuration screens aren't very intuitive, but once you do it works perfectly. Your new linux chroot with working vnc should be up and running in just a few clicks.
Hakar hobo kivabe.
you need to be root
Requires root
This is one of my essential app for running KVM on Android! You need root (try Magisk) to run this. It is based on chroot (the oposite is Termux which is based on proot). After installing the app, go and set the username to root!!! REALLY IMPORTANT if you want to use apt commands in your chroot. Have fun using this!
Wow great job
Please without root, I need without root access
Great can't wait to test it
The best app ever, now i have a desktop running on android. Everything works fine.
