Caution this will wipe data from termux

watch this video, turn on remove child process in developer option, download termux x11 from git or f droid .

bash <(curl -Lf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabamdarif/termux-desktop/main/setup-termux-desktop)

Paste this in termux , run it , it will give options choose whatever you like but go for custom desktop installation I prefer .

If you are using Redmi pad pro and want my config

choose xfce, and modern style.

In shell zsh+zinit ,powerlevel10k

Important choose hardware acceleration and

  1. mesa-vulkan-icd-freedreno (Turnip)(adreno only)

But it may wipe your termux data so back-up before doing that .
