🔰How to Install a Complete Linux Distro on Android🔰
♻️For users who want to experience a complete desktop OS on their Android phone, especially tech-savvy people who don’t want to carry around a laptop or tablet, it’s entirely possible to install a fully-functional Linux OS on your Android phone.
You will need a rooted phone for this operation – you can search Appuals for a root guide for your device if you aren’t already rooted. Once you’re rooted though, the process is fairly simple.

🔺Distribution – Choose your Linux distro to install. There’s quite a large list, but the most user-friendly would be Ubuntu.

Architecture – Do not change this, it is automatically selected based on your device.
Image size (MB) – The default is 512, but you should change this to a higher available number. Just don’t enter a number greater than 4095mb.
SSH Settings – You’ll need to change the default port of 22 here, but Android devices can only use ports abo
