Termux

You're stuck with Android, and if you don't like doing development in Java for Android, I think you're a little bit stuck there.

Termux does wonders, and, you know, there are all sorts of ways to do it, and so that's no real problem, I guess.

Also, PostMarketOS runs on a lot of phones, and that's actually just a straight-up mainline Linux.

Although support for different phones is a little harder to get there.

If the software part is the part that's going to stop you, work it the other way.

Go over to PostMarketOS, find the phones that you need to buy, and buy yourself one.

If, on the other hand, you're just trying to use whatever phone you got, well, Termux is the way to go, probably.

You mentioned Samsung DeX.

Alpine's cool.

When I have used P-Root Distro on Termux in the dark nights of the soul when I've been playing with my phone, using Alpine is the smallest and quickest.

I mean, on older phones especially, that is slow, P-Root Distro.

It's useful.
