🔥 XFCE and Debian :

Sets up a termux XFCE desktop and a Debian proot install. This setup uses Termux-X11, the termux-x11 server will be installed and you will be prompted to allow termux to install the Android APK. You only need to pick your username and follow the prompts.

Important

This will take roughly 4GB of storage space

---

Starting the desktop

During install you will recieve a popup to allow installs from termux, this will open the APK for the Termux-X11 android app. While you do not have to allow installs from termux, you will still need to install manually by using a file browser and finding the APK in your downloads folder.

Use the command start to initiate a Termux-X11 session

This will start the termux-x11 server, XFCE4 desktop and open the Termux-X11 app right into the desktop.

To enter the Debian proot install from terminal use the command debian

Also note, you do not need to set display in Debian proot as it is already set. This means you can use the terminal to start any GUI application and it will startup.

 

Hardware Acceleration & Proot

Here are some aliases prepared to make launching things just a little easier.

OhMyTermuxXFCE:

zrun - Launch apps in Debian proot with hardware acceleration

zrunhud - Same thing but with fps hud

hud - Display fps hud for games in Termux

Debian proot:

zink - Launch apps with hardware accleration

hud - Display fps hud

To enter proot use the command debian, from there you can install aditional software with apt and use cp2menu in termux to copy the menu items over to termux xfce menu.

Nala has been chosen as a front end in Debian proot. As it is currently setup, you do not need to issue sudo prior to running apt. This allows for you to just run apt update, apt upgrade, etc without also using sudo. This is setup similar in Termux as well and works just the same.

 

There are two scripts available for this setup as well

prun  Running this followed by a command you want to run from the debian proot install will allow you to run stuff from the termux terminal without running debian to get into the proot itself.

cp2menu Running this will pop up a window allowing you to copy .desktop files from debian proot into the termux xfce "start" menu so you won't need to launch them from terminal. A launcher is available in the System menu section.

 

Process completed (signal 9) - press Enter
