Debian on a cellphone
I think I neglected this fact since when I tried it last time on Android 13 it did not work but Ubuntu did.
I am currently downloading the Userland from Android Application center. It is 57MB. I would report the outcome later.
YES, one can run run Linux on a Samsung Tablet.
I got my Samsung tablet from the attic but forgot to try it.
I may do it later, because it is Android 14 or 15 which I cannot find from the SETUP.
It needs at least Android 14.
I think it is Debian Buster which is Version 10.
The reason Abiword did 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
