Comment on Use an old android phone to selfhost ?

Tried to host a pihole with distrobix some time ago, eventually it just stopped responding sadly. I want a debian server that I can ssh into, it’s the bare minimum to host stuff IMO. Tmux is great, but I use it as a client, not a server.
Best case would be to trash the whole android os and somehow get a real Linux distro running headless (I know android is technically Linux, but it does not count)

isnt the supported kernel a critical question for most android phones?

Not Sure. But it doesn’t mean anything when is I can’t get a proper distro to boot.

yes actually this is what I mean. although android is linux, any distro wont run on the device
would gentoo be an option as everything is compilled?

Postmarketos seems like the best distro for that kind of thing, you compile your kernel yourself too for that distro.
