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.

look into proot+termux-x11 if you don't have a rooted device, it's still very good.

It's just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.

HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.

I looked on the play store and fdroid, haven't found anything. I'd love to have a Linux chroot with CLI linux software, don't want to root my phone. Halp.

For the lazy, in termux:

$ pkg install proot
$ pkg install proot-distro
$ proot-distro install debian
$ proot-distro login debian

Profit??
