I did for a year then I realized Termux existed and now I run Arch Linux on my Android phone. It might still work without root (I didn't follow up to see if it would work)

That sounds a bit like a job for UserLAnd, depending on how crucial the tasks are.

If you want to run Arch Linux, why not get a GNU/Linux phone (Librem 5 or Pinephone)?

Oh wow, I'm not even sure now it's what you meant, but I had no idea before this thread that you could run wayland/x11 out of termux. How's the access to hardware - does this mean I can essentially trial what 'daily driving' a Linux phone would be like without actually buying one/carrying two devices? E.g. can you designate Termux to handle phone calls/texts?
