I have a really specific question.

I want to buy an android handheld and install rocknix or <name> linux on it. I want to be able to switch between "game" mode and "desktop" mode with a de/wm like in the steam deck. Switching to a "desktop" mode will require a key combination password what can be inputed only in specific menu.

Questions:

- I can use any headless linux distro that supports arm processors or I need rocknix specifically.

- if I choose <name> linux, will it be tedious to configure key input?

Is it stupid? May be. But i need it, please help me if you can or tell me where I should ask this question.

I don't have a phone that is compatible with graphene os, and also I don't have money to buy a compatible smartphone. Is there any way to create some kind of container with linux for example. The main issue that I have is that apps can view/check ports on loop and chech if i use vpn. I know that I can install a sort of linux container on android with termux, but will it be secure? If someone will unlock the smartphone, will he be able to read the content of this linux container
