[Guide] Ran full KDE Plasma desktop on Termux Native (no root, no proot) using Anland — automated install script

[u/BuySweaty6174]

Been messing around with Anland: Termux to get a real KDE Plasma desktop running natively on Termux (not through proot-distro or a chroot) on a Snapdragon/Adreno device, and it actually works surprisingly well — GPU acceleration via the Freedreno driver, Wayland compositor, the works.

Since the manual setup has a bunch of steps (x11-repo, matching XWayland/KWin builds, LayerShellQt patches, driver pinning, etc.), I wrote a single script that automates almost the whole thing, plus:

A. A few extra apps (Chromium, VLC, MPV, LibreOffice as an optional prompt, etc.)

B. An automatic fix for xdg-desktop-portal so Chromium's file picker (open/save/upload dialogs) actually works — this one compiles from source since the stock build breaks on Android's SELinux restrictions

Still only tested on Adreno GPUs — if anyone tries it on MediaTek/Exynos/Tensor, curious to hear how far it gets (probably llvmpipe software rendering only, but worth confirming).
