Kali net hunter can show a Linux environment over usb display port on some phones. There's also Samsung Dex but that's just android apps. They were working on a Linux version of it but killed it off within a year. It only ever worked on the S9.


I know, I specifically bought an S10e few years ago just for that (it worked on the s10 series too), but they had a special version of Ubuntu and all the repos were down so kinda useless.

The Kali thing is also just a chroot image (if rooted) that you have to VNC into, and cannot do docker and stuff.


Ohh I thought Linux on DeX was only for the S9. But it was only for a very short period (during Android 9's availability :( )

I think they killed it way too quickly. But anyway, meh..

The S10e was the last small Samsung too :'(
