Would DebianNoRoot work for your needs? If not an actual model number would definitely help since "remix ultra" pulls up a bunch of different tablets and last thing you want to do is install something for the wrong model and brick your device.
You could also use Debian Noroot, which has a native SDL-based X server built into it. Should perform a bit better than the VNC approach. Also free software.
I am also guilty in publishing one app under two different names:
Debian noroot is Linux installer for Android, it has 116000 downloads and 3.9 stars.
GIMP Inkscape is the same Linux installer, but with two graphics editors pre-installed, and it does not mention words 'Linux' or 'Debian' anywhere in the description. I published it one year later after Debian noroot, but lo and behold, it has 472000 downloads despite lower 3.3 stars rating.
So yeah, marketing and spamming works, even if you consider it ugly.
Generally no, with generic ARM based Android tablets you can't run Linux, here's why:
- Generally with Android tablets the bootloader is locked by the manufacturer so that it's only (easily) possible to download firmware provided by them. You can usually bypass this, but sometimes it requires rooting the device, or doctoring the firmware image to look like the manufacturer's image.
- Even if you did manage to install Linux most of the time the drivers for your tablet don't exist. This is because a lot of mobile hardware is proprietary and specifications for the hardware are only available under NDA. That means that things like the wifi chip, integrated gpu, touch screen, etc probably don't have any open source drivers. Without those drivers your tablet really doesn't do much.
You can however sometimes install a Linux-like environment in Android (see Debian noroot). It depends on your tablet. This doesn't replace Android, but it puts a Debian environment on top of Android.
If you have an Intel based Android tablet (which are fairly rare) the situation may be a bit different.
Linux for dex is still many months away.
Until then, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
Or debian gnuroot with xdsl
Here is a guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/guide-installing-and-running-a-gnulinux-environment-on-any-android-device/
Ubuntu has been showing off this feature for 3 years straight, I already lost any hope that it will get any adoption (even just a few users).
If you want desktop apps in your tablet, I've got an app for you [dev], but of course it won't fix Android UI, so it's as awkward as desktop mode in Windows 8.

And it pipes it's desktop through an integrated SDL based remote x11 viewer, exactly like all the rest of them, because that's the only way they can function.
I originally tried this exact version, but pico8 fails to launch because libSDL2 requires real root, not proot, unless recompiled to exclude udev.
You can use Discord like that? I always thought it's just a proprietary IRC replacement.
Linux on mobile is not just a dream! But it's not a product either, more like a toy, where you can encounter ten thousand ways Linux apps break under the simulation.
Have you tried it's skip 80% of steps if you want to try it I use it sometimes only when I need to do something that require Linux so dunno
I mean I got far with debian no root, give that a shot (not full on linux but had a lot of fun messing around with it, Although here's a disclaimer It eats your storage hard.)

You don't need to exagear anything, why would you do x86 emulation? The randomizer is Java, the whole point of java is it's cpu architecture agnostic. A Linux install running natively on the phone's CPU will do just fine. I've used this before for this exact task: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
debian norrot and orbot for anyone interested
I've updated Debian noroot to run on Android 9, if you're still interested.
There are also other apps like UserLand, which use the same method, but different apps contain different hacks to make specific packages work.
The best way to do this would a WiFi capable device running the steam client to create a backup from. You could try a friend's laptop? Install steam, download, backup, and uninstall steam. If you want to go nuts .... Install Linux on your phone, install steam for Linux, download an backup. Actually, something like this could do the trick https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
I disagree. Tails is based on debian, and there are mobile versions of that already . http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian You would just need to install the tails specific software. You can even run debian over top of Android, it's available in the play store , no roo t needed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
Hi.
Guess it's a little late to reply (2 months) but I found this post while looking for cluster computing subreddits.
If they are Android phones, can you get something like this running on them? This app lets you run a Debian system on an Android phone. Considering Raspbian is comparable to Debian, the instructions should be almost identical (but instead of flashing SD cards to duplicate your install, you will need to repeat thje steps on each phone or come up with something clever).
It works decent for a lot of stuff:

I'm not sure what other distros have apps... but the process they use for this app should work for most distros that can be compiled for phones.
You might as well use a chrooted linux environment, which will work surprisingly well if you own a modern powerful tablet. If you don't have root on it, you could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu If you have root, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy with a large choice of distributions.

a little aggressive, no?
Well, it doesn't entirely require root, it only needs it to work well.

You can run linux without root
Try Debian No Root

Other than that, getting Linux to run on an Android device is no easy task.

Oh that might need root... There's this if you wanna try debian:

It's not really as amazing as it sounds, even on high power devices. You've been warned.
Want to know an even easier method? Debian noroot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
> and Android does not support Linux desktop programs.
About that... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu .
If the phone is Android then yes.

You can run debian on android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
mmm, 6.1 is oldish android (no offense), and I dont know if Andronix supports that.
So here my thoughts on this:
A. Try to install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu
B. Even better try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.ula and select XFCE in the menu, the app will take a long while to install everything & will launch the VNC client for you.
C.If you still want to try Andronix I think would be beneficial to know what Ubuntu have u installed (normal or modded)?
+ What do u get on the screen in Termux?
Debian noroot is a way to have Linux desktop environment in your phone without rooting it. You can run many open-source Linux applications, some of which do not crash. It's like crippled Linux on DeX, that does not need external display. Hours of enjoyment fumbling around terminal and package manager. You can run desktop version of Chrome web browser, Gimp and Inkscape for image editing, Audacity and LMMS for audio editing, and LibreOffice for editing documents, all on your phone's tiny screen.
I also have to mention competitor apps on Play Store, which are mostly competing in who will draw uglier launcher icon, because they are all open-source and borrow code from each other:
UserLAnd - that's the best one, and it will be better than Debian noroot, when they fix XSDL support on Android 9 and 10. It also provides other distributions, like Ubuntu and Arch.
Termux - manual installation by copying commands from their wiki. You have to know your way around command line.
AndroNix - provides automated installation in Termux, uses VNC server for graphics, which is slow. Provides several distributions.
AnLinux - also uses Termux and VNC. Provides several distributions.
Out of all these apps, only Debian noroot provides convenient one-click installation, that will bring you directly to Debian XFCE desktop, because there's only one distribution to choose from.

There’s a Debian noroot app for Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnuroot.debian also for other varieties https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy
While it's not actually a reply but I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu (Debian) and it worked fine.

Since you have a notebook already, you could remote into your phone using Remmina, VNC, or some other program. If this works for you, then you don't need to setup a monitor in an RV (which sounds tricky) or buy new hardware.
Either way, if you're comfortable with Linux you might find Debian noroot useful for running a desktop on your phone. Then you also have the advantages of being able to remote into Debian directly.
To remote into your phone from your notebook, you can go wireless or wired:
- Wireless: Start an ad hoc network on your notebook, and then connect to that with the phone. This is more sustainable than the first option, but you may have to enable ad hoc network support on your phone first.
- Wired: Use a USB cable and ADB (more installation detail).This doesn't yield the performance gain that you might expect, and you have to install and use the Android debugger to initiate the connection, but it might be more energy efficient, and you have the signal integrity of a wired connection.
Start the VNC (or other) server on the phone and the client on the notebook. Once you connect, you can interact with your phone through a window on your notebook--also using your notebook's mouse and keyboard.
I've had mixed results with the VNC servers on Android. Being able to run a server from within Debian is advantageous because you have a much wider range of server software to choose from.
On Android, I set up droid VNC server back in 2012 to make mobile software testing easier. But recently I tried it on my home WLAN, and I couldn't get it to connect. Later I noticed it hasn't been updated since 2012! There's another one, VMLite VNC Server, which you have to pay for; I haven't tried it. It was last updated in August 2015.
Just in case you explore this option later: I've used ClockworkMod Tether, but I can't recommend it. It's just too inconsistent. Sometimes it works, but the script is messy and fickle. Often it just doesn't connect. Worse, it hasn't been updated in over a year.
