    You need a phone, tablet, or other device that’s been rooted.

      Rule of thumb for android users, all of the interesting shit is shit you can’t do unless you’re rooted.

        I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux

          yeah, linux has me spoiled, just being able to do whatever i want as i please is truly a modern art.

          Android made me realize how incredible linux was by being so utterly painful.

      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??

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.
