Hello Friends!
Today I wanted to start a thread that will house prebuilt Linux environments, as well as instructions for building the Linux environments yourself. These "environments" theoretically can be run on any non-rooted Android Device.
The first premade being released is an Ubuntu (Jammy) environment with a GUI that I built from scratch and will show you how to build as well! It is as bare bones as I could get with just xfce4 for the gui and it's goodies package. Tightvncserver is installed as well so we can remote into the environment.
(If you would rather use windows RDC then do not install tightvncserver)
Please note the environments aren't perfect, there's a lot to be discovered and learned here. The way this is built, as improvements are made, the backups can be updated to reflect those changes. Please please do share if you understand how to improve anything or if you know anything about this stuff you want to share. I love learning from you all!
A Very Special Thank You to @ze7zez for taking the time to test the prebuilt, as well as educate us!!
PS I made a mistake in referring to these "Environments" as "Virtual Machines" They are not vms. They share the same kernel as our phone, and therefore are not as secure as a VM. THANKS!

Lastly tightvncserver is installed so we are able to remote into the distro. Takes 30 mins to an hour to install.
If you would rather use RDC, do not install tightvncserver, use the package xrdp instead. You would then skip the vncserver step below.
Lastly, it is possible to upgrade the distro's file system from Jammy Jellyfish, to Lunar Lobster. See the Customize spoiler below for more details. OR SEE THIS POST FOR A FULL LUNAR BUILD

So, the package "xrdp" in this Ubuntu port cannot run with tightvncserver installed. Idk why. It took me 3 days to learn this... x.x but yay here we go!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Grab your ip address and make sure you have setup at least a root password, or a user.
then login to windows remote desktop connection with your ip address and type either root and your root password or the username and user password you set.
If you get disconnected and are unable to reconnect in RDC, run this command:
