Do you usually use the Linux operating system on your PC and would like to do the same on your Android phone or tablet? The Debian app is just what you need

Use the Linux operating system on your Android

If you're used to using Linux on your computer and miss it as soon as you pick up your smartphone, this app might interest you. Downloading the APK file will help us use our favorite operating system on an Android device without requiring root privileges. But how does it work?

How to use Debian on an Android phone

Debian is an app for Android devices that allows us to use the Debian Buster operating system with the Xfce desktop environment on our mobile or tablet. And the best thing is that we don't have to root the terminal.

Note that it is not a complete operating system, but a compatibility layer based on PRoot that allows us to run Debian applications and install packages. It should also be noted that it is not an official version of the Linux operating system, although it works quite well.

Once inside, you can control all the options by dragging your finger across the screen like a mouse. However, the developers recommend connecting a mouse for more convenient use of this app.
