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.

Transform Your Android Device into a Linux Desktop
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
