Google introduces Debian Linux terminal app for Android. My phone's a laptop at last!
Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus' Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it's more powerful than most of my laptops. So why not use it as a laptop?
Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced -- at long last -- a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop.

Would be nice to have some alternative for my Note 10+ that is no longer getting updates. Seems it's not popular enough to have an EOL root/custom rom made, so it's just stuck. Seems a waste for a device with decent CPU/GPU and 12gb ram.
Zomg, you have Lineage OS!
LineageOS A free and open-source operating system for various devices, based on the Android mobile platform.
Your phone will feel snappier than ever, you'll get latest Android stuff (I'm sure official support for 15 is coming), and security updates.
You can also easily google or degoogle it.

(Or if it's the 5G variant)Only if they have the Exynos variant. Won't work on the Qualcomm variant, annoyingly.
Bingo, it's the Qualcomm variant unfortunately.
Oh nyoo :(
