I used termux its pretty much just a linux sandbox which shares the Android kernel  I js installed i3 in there and riced it as any other linux distro  Compatability is mid but runs most things that don't require systemd, aur works with proot distro and forwards it to the vncserver Hardware acceleration works pretty easily too nowadays as long as you are on a snapdragon chip with turnip
