termux-archlinux VS proot-distro

I used this for install arch: https://github.com/sdrausty/termux-archlinux

Arch Linux can be installed on Android with Termux

I run scipy and numpy on my phone with it. A bit painful but I wrote a few thousand lines of ML code with vim on my cell phone in the last two months.

The absolute easiest way to do it is to just use something like termux-archlinux, and then you can just install Neovim with the package manager of your choice. However as I noted above, I find that a chroot-ed (to provide a FHS-compliant filesystem) option is extremely slow. It might be worth a try though; I have an old Samsung S8 that has seen better days so perhaps newer stuff would perform better.

There are ways to install your favorite distro on Termux, like Arch.

Libre Office should work as expected; these issues; https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux/issues/60 https://github.com/SDRausty/TermuxArch/issues/252 https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux/issues/60 https://github.com/TermuxArch/TermuxArch/issues/7 have more information.

Ah, ok nice, I just found https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux and apparently it has some implementation of systemd (csystemctl), should I just use that?

Why not just use https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux ?

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.
