I really miss when Samsung allowed some of their phones to run Linux. I was able to accomplish some of my workflow from my job with it. It was only in beta and ultimately Samsung decided to pull the plug on it.
I then decided to look for other ways of installing Linux on Android. THere are several methods but my favorite is by using the Andronix app. This video is going to be an overview of that application.
