I'm currently messing around with Termux and trying to install Linux through AnLinux, Andronix and UserLAnd just for fun.

I have mixed success in AnLinux. I successfully installed and started Lubuntu but it was running pretty slowly. I wasn't able to replicate the install a while later. Also I totally failed to get ArchLinux running.

Now I'm trying Andronix. Wish me luck!

Do you have any experience running a Linux on your mobile?

I used to have various Linux setups on my Android phones. I experimented with different chroot setups and applications, settled on just generating my own chroot using debootstrap and mounting it with a script in the Terminal app. XServer XSDL for GUI. It worked, but it wasn't amazing.

These days I switched to proper Linux phone. Typing this on my PinePhonePro keyboard using postmarketOS. If you really want the best pocketable Linux experience you can get, this is by far the best. Might not be the best if you depend on Android apps, but my Android use case was mostly just browser and a few unimportant apps that have Linux alternatives.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
