I tested several setup in the past using approaches like Andronix and this setup is better in many ways:

Andronix is an app that allows you to install several Linux distributions on your Android device. You still retain your Android OS and other Android apps.

If you want to use your fold4 as a desktop/laptop you can use https://andronix.app/ to install a linux distro on the phone. Basically it will install a linux distro into Termux and you can then "login" into it via VNC. I installed WebStorm on it and synched all plugins and settings on it and it runs like a charm also with big projects. If you decide to use a linux distro on the phone and want to install some other software, get the aarch64 / arm7 versions.

Not strictly a VM, but, for example: https://andronix.app/ I don't have a need to run a VM otherwise, so I'm not well versed on it. Plenty of emulation options. Android 13 made it possible to run KVM but it seems it's limited to Tensor chips in Pixels.

As an alternative to the VNC method suggested here, Termux also has a separate app by the name of Termux-X11[1]. It feels snappier and the resolution of the Linux environment is automatically scaled to the available screen space you have

No more crashing! I didn't show that it continues playing with VNC viewer minimized.

Also try this out, way smoother than VNC server, tho you might have to downscale the resolution to make the buttons larger https://github.com/termux/termux-x11
