termux-linux-setup

A unified script to easily set up native Linux desktop environments (XFCE4, LXQt, MATE, KDE) on Android via Termux. Includes GPU acceleration (Turnip/Zink), audio, Windows app support (Box64/Wine), and a comprehensive set of default tools.

Prerequisites

Before running this script, you must install the correct versions of the required applications on your Android device.

1. Termux Base App: Do not download Termux from the Google Play Store, as that version is broken and no longer receives updates. You must download the official, updated version from F-Droid:

   • Download Termux (F-Droid)

2. Termux-X11 App: This application acts as the display server (your monitor) to show the Linux desktop. Note: Termux-X11 is no longer available on F-Droid. You must download the official Companion APK (app-arm64-v8a-debug.apk) directly from their GitHub releases page:

   • Download Termux-X11 Nightly (GitHub)

How to Install

Once you have both applications installed on your phone, open the primary Termux app and paste the following command to automatically download and run the setup script:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/orailnoor/termux-linux-setup/main/termux-linux-setup.sh && chmod +x termux-linux-setup.sh && ./termux-linux-setup.sh
