    Have you tried Termux? I currently use my old Xperia with a broken screen as a "server", but it can actually be used like this: https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-desktop (I haven't tried, since I don't need to)

    AFAIK LoD used VNC, but it was hidden and Ubuntu 16 had full Gnome GUI. Termux can use only simpler GUI, but still it look nice (old example https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-desktop)

    I was trying to view powerlevel10k theme emojis in terminal. When I install powerlevel10k on oh-my-zsh it promts that If I want to install Meslo Nerd Font. If I install then the emojis and icons appears if not then doesn't appear. I tried copy pasting NotoColorEmoji.ttf to use/share/fonts/ but that doesn't seem to work . BUT I installed this GUI interface https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-desktop copied the font files and the emojis and icons appear in VNC. I still don't know why that worked.
