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?

      No it doesn’t, Termux is just a set of Linux packages which are compiled to use the Android Termux application data directory as the base install path. There is no separation from the host system like a container does with Linux kernel namespaces. The only permission in Termux is what Android itself enforces.

        You got me there, like a container without containing it?

        But I suppose most like a privellaged container (as much as the android user is privellaged).

        The most important connection in my analogy though was it runs its ‘root’/those packages separately from the android operating system, cause we can’t install our own packages there
