  • Question: Installing Debian with GUI under Termux

    From Romeo Horvath@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 21:10:01
    Hello everyone,
    I would like to ask for some guidance on how to properly install Debian
    within Termux. Specifically, I am interested in a setup that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) as well.
    Could anyone point me to the recommended method or provide some steps on
    how to achieve this?
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Best regards,
    Romeo Horvath

    Hi Romeo Horvath

    I would like to ask for some guidance on how to properly install Debian within Termux. Specifically, I am interested in a setup that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) as well.

    I am assuming the goal is to have Debian with GUI working on a host Android system. Proot allows to do this without requiring root on the device. There
    is a wiki page about this at <https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot> and a live chat group #termux at https://libera.chat/ which appears the most tame
    contact of those listed in <https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Community>.

    Sveta
