If you do like the nix ecosystem (and all its benefits like reproducible envs) or just want to give it a try to a "NixOS" like thingy, you should absolutely try https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid. It's somewhat rough, but it's very nice and has nix flakes and home-manager support.

20 Years of Nix
I doubt your setup needed recompiling the Nix binary itself at any point. Even I did that more out of love of adventure than for any practical reasons, it’s just that the scars are still there.
And you know what, the evaluation time thing might just be a bug. Or at least I don’t see any other reason why (e.g.) `nix-shell -p yt-dlp` in my Nix-on-Droid[1] installation works reasonably fast but `nix shell nixpkgs#yt-dlp` takes minutes.

Two debian distros, both Termux-X11 and VNC gives black screen on one, workd on the other
I suspect some component was upgraded (glib?) and it use some functions that are not handled well by proot. Report issue to https://github.com/termux/proot/issues in order to have chances get it solved for yourself and others with this "black screen" problem.

FreeBSD 14.0 Delivering Great Performance Uplift
I needed to look at your comment for 10 minutes before I got what you mean. So you want containers that run on any POSIX operating systems?
You can do this with ptrace() which is in POSIX, but its going to be slow for i/o heavy applications. Unfortunately POSIX doesn't provide anything else (seccomp would already be a step up). See also proot[1], gVisor[2] and User Mode Linux[3] which all use ptrace().

WHAT ARE FILES .l2s.*
Documentation does not exist. Just like in best traditions of open source software typically maintained by one person. Look the proot source code instead. Here is the link to extension source code: https://github.com/termux/proot/blob/master/src/extension/link2symlink/link2symlink.c

Ubuntu 22.04 on android 12
You'll probably want to do that inside of a proot environment.

The /sys filesystem is not mounted. If you are running in a chroot environment, bind-mount missing filesystems. on opensuse
Now regarding proot: it can't have higher privileges than your Termux shell session, despite the user "root" which may possibly appear. It was told many times here on Reddit, Termux GitHub and even Wiki (https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot) that PRoot does not give extra privileges and root user is fake.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app
I understand the sentiment, but I disagree. From the last time I checked, the big compromise with GNU/Linux phones is still the lack of social media and messaging apps and appstore ecosystem. Android, with root, is every bit as much a computer as a Pinephone and Librem 5, but the opposite isn't true. Termux has PRoot, a user-space implementation of chroot allowing a full distro install. I personally don't have any problem depending on Google, I have a problem with things being locked away with no alternative. Given the option, I will happily accept the risks and void my warray to root.
