From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

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
