Thanks,

Can you make a video for this https://github.com/RandomCoderOrg/ubuntu-on-android/wiki/commands-took-to-make-a-custom-rootfs from scratch?

It will help in creating rootfs locally. Thanks again.

I noticed firefox and gimp being installed by default. The image should really be slimmed down.

firefox and gimp are under 200mb (after installing a window manager/desktop environment). both was supposed to be main component

Why would you ever use those inside a proot inside termux inside Android? Thunderbird is also installed. It's just bloat.

@Trass3r v2 is not optimized in terms of apps it just planned to be a better prebuilt tarball build for proot with a good look

a lite version with just xfce4 core and basic Linux utils is already planned

and thunderbird just came under xubuntu-desktop package so it's not bloatware 👌
