Debian on Samsung Tablet

Debian on Samsung Tablet

I have made a List of Arch Linux below and many have gone dormant.

I have tested only 4 of them excluding Steam OS.

I could never boot an ARCH Linux in my 15 odd Network of 32 bit computers of the past.

There are much better Linux distribution of Linux available.

Unless you want to become, a lifetime Linux developer, do not waste time on ARCH.

I am a longtime Linux user and avid critic of Linux and I have proposed Japanese 5 S for Linux.

I was the one who introduced this Principle to Private Hospitals in Ceylon. 

Unfortunately, none of the private hospitals practice this principle in Ceylon, now.

These five words from Demming (an an American who introduced these principles to Japan), I can remember by heart.

William Edwards Deming is referred to as a quality guru because he was one of the first, in the 1950s, to propose a modern approach to product quality by using staff management, planning, product design and process monitoring.

Much of the field of Quality originated from several individuals who spent their careers researching, teaching and developing the field of Quality. These individuals are Walter Shewhart, W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, Philip Crosby, and Armand Fiegenbaum.

Japanese who adopted this was Kaoru Ishikawa.

I had the pleasure of working with J.I.C.A. Dr. Yugiro Handa (he is professor now).

The first is Dr. Yugiro Handa and he was an amiable guy and I used to tell him instead of JICA, he should become a diplomat. I lost touch with him and he never game me his email and I did not ask in any case.

The other was Miss Hagiwara, opposite Dr. Handa very reserved and difficult to make any tangible friend. She was a computer lady and had all the Windows proprietary software including statistics with her. She was stingy not necessarily due to copyright issues but her nature. I gave up trying her but got Professor Asoka Ekanayake to demand from her all the software needed for student education in the small computer unit we had.

She had to give in and I built a small network in Linux at home with 14 computers. 

TQM and the Pioneers Who Made Us Think About It

The origins of total quality management (TQM) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when W. Edwards Deming worked with Japanese automobile manufacturers to improve product quality. The aim was to help Japan rebuild after the devastation of World War II and regain a competitive edge in the global marketplace. Joseph Juran and Philip Crosby also played a key role in developing TQM, each with their own unique contribution. Juran emphasized the importance of continuous improvement, while Crosby focused on the need for organizations to meet customer expectations. Over time, TQM has become an essential element of business strategy for many organizations.

YES, one can run run Linux on a Samsung Tablet.
It needs at least Android 14.
I think it is Debian Buster which is Version 10. The reason Abiword dis not work on this utility proves that.
I started with Android Version 4.4 which was named  Kitkat.
My cellphone on Android 13 does not support.
There is Linux Utility called User Land.
Do not use it it.
It is taken over by Ubuntu and one has to pay for the services.
I tried using User land 10 years ago on a Nokia Phone, supporting Android 8.
I could not do anything with it and gave it up. I think it was Android version 6.
I had over 10 Nokia phones and I did not know what version they were until, this Cellphone towers reach became an issue.
Current version of Android is 15. I think my old cellphones could support up to version 9, named Pie.
Cellphones supporting version 10 to 12 were expensive and as a pensioner I could not afford them, until I decided to buy two cellphones at cut rate before leaving Ceylon to Australia.

I knew in Australia cellphones were much expensive than in Singapore.

It is the same feeling now but Debian let one installs Synaptic Package Manager and  I even Installed Abiword, focus writer and LibreOffice.
Synaptic has ton of applications to choose.
I am still learning with only mouse key to work around, it is bit of a task. My fingers are OK, having been a Pediatric guy with surgical skills but my vision is the one that handicapping me.
I had to try Debian 4 times. Debian does not support it is an old edition.
I hope Debian Developers should look into its support for cellphone.
If an old guy like me can get it going on my Samsung I think newbie can do that.
Thank you Samsung.
I even got Chromium Browser running.

I think one should Install Synaptic Package Manager first. Synaptic look for libraries and that helps the Chromium Browser.
However, font installer hung up.
Keyboard is not virtual activated by defaults and LibreOffice needs fonts to work with.
I tried even Blender and it was slow and would not probably install.
Debian Developers are wise enough to support it but I think mature Debian Developers should help the young guys who took project seriously but have come into some difficulties.
Cellphone is not built to support Linux by default primarily because O.E.M guy feat that Samsung may be hacked by hackers.
There is only one cellphone, Pine that has Linux but it is for developers and is very expensive.
I hope before I kick the bucket I would have the pleasure to use a Linux phone. Even Ubuntu gave up. I was not keen using Linux on a cellphone moment I bought a NUC computer.
Mini PCs are ruling the computer world and very soon nobody would Apple phones would plummet. I think Apple cannot keep up with Mini PCs within a year or so.
I love the Mini PC with Touch Screen.

Active ARCH Linux distributions.

Asterisk indicates the year of first public release based on Arch Linux.

Inactive

These distributions are no longer developed, but show some of the history surrounding Arch Linux and the greater FOSS community. Sections show the year of the latest release.
