Userland application (
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tech.ula&hl=fr ) allows to run a full linux distro (like debian or Ubuntu) on userspace and without rooting the device. The system is usable even in graphical mode using ICEWM as window manager both on my Vivo Y70 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 665), and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 625). However it crashes often when using LXDE or XFCE as window managers.
[EDIT]
I have tested Userland on Boox Max 3, and it works pretty fine out of the box. Still need to explore all the possibilities.
