Acer Smart tv, Android 11, ,proot-distro Arch Linux, need help setting up linux environment, no root

[indiatvusa]

I have a Acer smart google tv 32inch V series Pro
Android 11 SDK 30

System specifications hardware
CPU:Realtek RTD2841a SOC, quad core Arm Cortex A55 1ghz to 1.2ghz frequency
Architecture: armv7l armeabi-v7a 32 bit
GPU Arm mali mp2 i think not sure
Ram: 1.5gb
Storage: emmc flash 5.1 Foresee 16gb
OS: Android 11 SDK30
USB 2.0 2 ports
Hdmi 2 ports
AV or composite video
Coax
Display: is the TV screen
Audio jack
Linux Kernal i don't know, i have to look it up

I installed Proot-Distro arch linux using Termux, All developer options are available no problem. I do not have root permissions. I cannot root using magisk because i do not have access to the boot.img because i do not have a way of downloading the firmware for the tv. It is a import from India.

I need help setting up a minimal linux desktop environment. I have very limited ram, most of the ram is being used by the host Operating system, android 11

When i login using cmd: proot-distro login archlinux
I get: rootlocalhost#

I do not know what to do from there. How do i setup a arch linux? I need someone familiar with arch linux, Arch linux is the only distro to my knowledge...that supports Armv7 still so i understand that there are easier distros to use. But i am a beginner and need help.
Please help me setup a desktop arch linux desktop environment that is minimal as possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

I modified the hardware to run much cooler so it is like a mini pc

thanks in advanced for helping me

There aren't many people running Arch and probably few here at Android Central running any Linux distro. I've run various distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE) but not Arch due to its complexity. My suggestion is to try XDA Developers forums, since they might have someone knowledgeable in Arch.

Thank you for letting me know, I will post in xda forum as well. I have posted in linux.org. With armv7l architecture im stuck with arch linux witch is a bummer for me cause i don't know it.
Will you Please leave my post up though just in case someone comes along in the future. I can't even find any literature on arch linux, I was hoping there would be a book of some kind for dummies like me lol.

Thank you for replying to my post i really appreciate it
