Anonymous, 11 hours agoNevermind, it's the same thing that I am doing with termux currently.Xodos does not need root and has some drivers, software preinstalled or easy to download and install.

Good if you are happy with Termux!

        I'm pretty sure Samsung would extend it to all DeX-compatible phones that will get OneUI 8.5. Also, Samsung used to dib on Linux before with Linux on DeX.

              erotavlas, 11 hours agofor what purpose though? what is the use case? You could, for instance, install node.js and run a lightweight node server for whatever purpose.

              It's like having powershell or command prompt on your phone.

                The Nokia N900 had this right out of the box. Direct access to the Linux terminal straight from the apps menu.

                        That's nothing. What would matter and make a lot of people happy would be to allow to unlock the bootloader and install whatever they want or uninstall whatever they want.
                        This would be a great move

                                  Motorola Signature better deal, many else Motorolas or other chinese phones and brands are far better chocie too.
