I've built AndroSH - a professional-grade tool that deploys isolated Linux distributions on Android devices with elevated privileges through Android's Shizuku service, providing root-level access within Linux environments without requiring device rooting.

Technical Implementation

AndroSH uses a sophisticated architecture: - Shizuku Integration: Leverages Android's Shizuku API for ADB-like system permissions - proot Virtualization: Creates isolated Linux environments with root privileges - SQLite-Backed Management: Professional environment tracking and session management - Multi-Distribution Support: Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, and Kali NetHunter

Professional Use Cases

# Development Environment
androsh setup dev --distro debian --type stable
androsh launch dev
root@localhost:~# apt install build-essential git python3 nodejs

# Security Research
androsh setup research --distro kali-nethunter --type minimal  
androsh launch research
root@localhost:~# apt install nmap wireshark python3-pip

Key Differentiators

• Root-Level Linux Access: Full root privileges within containerized environments
• Zero Device Modification: No bootloader unlocking or system partitioning required
• Android System Integration: Execute Android commands (pm, getprop) from Linux shells
• Enterprise-Grade Management: Database-driven environment tracking and recovery

Technical Requirements

• Android device with Shizuku service
• Python 3.8+ environment (Termux recommended)
• 2GB+ storage for distribution images

This project addresses the gap between mobile convenience and professional Linux tooling, particularly useful for developers, security researchers, and system administrators who need reliable Linux environments on Android devices.
