One solution is use rdnis over usb.

It allows ethernet connection over USB.

Once ip network is setup, you can easily run nfs, samba, vnc over that network interface.

A few years back when I worked on AOSP project, I dislike the tools from Android. I put a "ubuntu for arm" rootfs in a subdirectory inside a cell phone platform, chroot to that subdir. I have full ubuntu environment inside a cell phone. xfce4-terminal, ddd, nfs, samba - ~40k ubuntu packages all available with a simple apt-get install command.

As long as you have enough RAM, CPU cores, storage space inside a cell phone, it is very easily to setup.

If you keep the vnc server running, you can plug and unplug that cell phone to any desktops, thin client and your can instantly log back into the same GUI environment.
