How to install a desktop Linux on a Sailfish device for a convergence use case

I'm looking for a similar approach like Maru or AnLinux to use my Sailfish device for a convergence use case. I have seen an old thread about this requirement:

A VNC client is available in Jolla Harbour. So, theoretically, it should be possible to install chroot environment for a guest system and access the desktop UI with the VNC client. I tried the terminal commancs of AnLinux, but the command is missing to execute the script:

pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm && pacman -Sy --noconfirm curl && curl -O https://blackarch.org/strap.sh && chmod +x strap.sh && ./strap.sh

pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm && pacman -Sy --noconfirm wget && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/DesktopEnvironment/Pacman/de-pac.sh && bash de-pac.sh

Unfortunately AnLinux and Temux require Android 5 or never. This might come soon which an updated Alien Davlik. But Android seems not be necessary.

Openrepos provides an app debootstrap and qemu. Doeas someone know, how to use debootstrap? I will test qemo, but I think, the overhead of a VM is not necessary. Some other ideas?
