I have a Samsung a51 that I debloated, I want to use it as a Linux toy and get a distro running either installed or through an emulator like termux.

I want to run something like debian

Any recommendations for apps to use to get Linux running?

    Nah they’re wrong debian doesn’t support 99% of android hardware, most of which is proprietary and non reverse enginered.

    The best you can do is termux, but there are ways to get gpu acceleration depending on your hardware

        Essentially yeah, any phone that can run linageos has a lot more options but a lot worse support for anything that doesn’t like root.

        If you are one of those lucky few you can look into things like Ubuntu touch

          I looked at Ubuntu but the best I could do is a clone of the launcher. Its real picky
