Linux Ubuntu container using proot with XFCE desktop when you can't use sudo / root / admin priveleges on hopefully any server

1. Install dependencies (proot)

wget https://github.com/dw5/proot-ubuntu-xfce-nosudo/raw/main/proot
wget https://github.com/dw5/proot-ubuntu-xfce-nosudo/raw/main/libtalloc.so.2
chmod a+rx proot
chmod a+rx libtalloc.so.2
# proot to /home/$USER/bin
# lib to... libs
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/$USER/libs/

note: proot and libtalloc is from debian 10 (buster)
2. Based on androinix ubuntu 20.04 (there was 22.04 but only arm64) typically used for termux

echo make sure you have
wget curl proot tar
wget https://github.com/dw5/proot-ubuntu-xfce-nosudo/raw/main/ubuntu20-xfce.sh -O ubuntu20-xfce.sh && chmod +x ubuntu20-xfce.sh && bash ubuntu20-xfce.sh 

3. Let's see if it works
