One option could be using proot or pKVM to run a full-fledged Linux distro and packages, instead of the limited Termux packages.

But of course, there's no guarantee that it would still work in the future.

Is pKVM available outside of pixel phones by now? There was some hype almost two years ago, e.g. https://www.androidauthority.com/windows-11-android-13-31079..., however I haven't seen a way to actually get it on any non-Pixel 6 device. That seems like it could be potentially really useful, e.g. new linux on DeX, windows on DeX, maybe even desktop photoshop.
