About Ubuntu on Android
Ubuntu on Android is a documented project for running Ubuntu on Android devices. It uses proot inside the Termux application and aims to work without root access. The project is intended to offer a pre-installed desktop environment, development tools, and software, and it is meant to make Linux setup easier for end users.
The documentation describes a quick install command that installs dependencies and a developer-selected distribution. It also describes an experimental uDroid Android app, which is in early development. The app is intended to provide a graphical way to install and manage Linux systems, use a terminal and X11 display, and launch installed Linux applications. The documentation lists Ubuntu suites from 22.04 LTS through 26.04 LTS, along with a section on end-of-life suites.
