proot-distro VS termux-x11

I don't check the current versions of distributions every day. So if someone find that new release is available, an issue can be opened at https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/issues.

Is there any default password for priviliged user. I mean when i $ proot-distro login distro will bring shell "#". Do i need to create password using passwd? https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/discussions/309

VSCode CLI has a package built for Alpine Linux. Use proot-distro or (shameless plug) distroot (a startup script) to install Alpine Linux in Termux.

because it is termux-proot

Folks who want a more traditional linux environment and libraries then what termux comes with might find proot-distro[1] to meet their needs. Basically it allows running an actual arm linux distro in a pseudo container created by (ab)using the ptrace syscall to emulate root privileges. This has a fairly big performance impact, but it works if you want to run arbitrary arm linix binaries.

I just installed proot-distro alpine and logged in with the said command. I want to add a user in it. I read proot-distro help in the termux but it mentions about how to log in as a specific user not about how to add a user. I have also checked termux wiki which says to add user useradd -U -m username but this also gave error. so does any one know how to add a user name in it. for example "john" is the user name i want to add so how do i do that?

https://github.com/termux/proot-distro - Installing base Ubuntu proot-distro (without GUI), it is a pretty straightforward process so I just used the original documentation

It is a clickbait. The "root" permission in this video is called proot which is to install a Linux container in Termux. The programs runs in container would think they are running in a real Linux environment.

- Termux:X11: plugin for Termux to connect to instance of servers and handle the connection.

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

https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/actions/runs/5108462890 Download the companion packages and your respective os's debug (in my case it was arm64)

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

Make a github account then download the file. https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/actions/runs/4524914392

I recommend trying out https://github.com/termux/termux-x11 it performs better than VNC if you don't care about remote access

Download the artifact in the page: https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/actions/runs/3681182476 (you need an account)

For the most part I just followed the Termux-X11 instructions from Github: https://github.com/termux/termux-x11
