[ Optimization IDEA ]: Move all media content to other place

found that whole repo size is ~32 mega bytes and media content is alone 16+ mega bytes
we need to move all media content from core repositories (i.e like ubuntu-on-android & fs-manager-udroid which users device clone during installation) and bind them to repos with hyperlinks

so i need ideas

Set keyboard layout

How can I detect or set the correct keyboard layout? I have tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, I have chosen the Italian keyboard layout, but it doesn't seem to take effect. Is it perhaps necessary to restart a proot process, to reboot Ubuntu?

If I try to access "keyboard layout" from the graphical Ubuntu settings, and I set Italian layout from there, it still seems not to make a difference.

If I try to access "language and region" I get an error.

Can't use apt-get

I have some problems when I try installing libgles-dev, or anything for that matter. Maybe I am doing something wrong since I am new to Termux.

I always get this error:

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

vgpu while kepping gl4es support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
i think

Describe the solution you'd like
include vgpu support and let users choose between gl4es and vgpu
see https://github.com/luo9674/VGPU it has Most of the GL2.x API and a small amount of GL3.x API(mainly texture and Uniform,
Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
vgpu readme
The project is a bit like GL4ES, where I want to implement a hardware-accelerated GL converter: when an application calls the GL library, it will be mapped to GLES. In other words, VGPU packages the GLES library as a GL library.

"Scale" does not seem to work

This scale setting doesn't seem to work,
This is what happens when zooming out if changed

It did work fine Ubuntu xfce on AndroNix's, https://andronix.app/

It is handy that I wouldn't need to zoom if the scale is 2x as everything can be read.

As above. See image

I can help testing or with another things (such as setup, write Scripts, etc)

Precompiled mesa with turnip?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mesa is dreadfully slow to compile if it manages to complete, and a hassle to even setup in the first place.

Describe the solution you'd like
Precompiled binaries I think would be the optimal solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At least a script that will preform the install, so people can do a set and forget over night, or throughout the day

Set vnc resolution as device's

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be cool to use in landscape mode if the vnc fit to the screen of the phone

Describe the solution you'd like
Set VNC's resolution as device's

Describe alternatives you've considered
I got my phone resolution from dumpsys display and changed VNC's from Settings
