I have a Samsung a51 that I debloated, I want to use it as a Linux toy and get a distro running either installed or through an emulator like termux.
I want to run something like debian
Any recommendations for apps to use to get Linux running?

Think you can install a desktop environment on termux, there are guides online for that
Termux isn’t an emulator though, afaik it’s an actual distro that runs on your phone’s existing Linux kernel alongside android
It runs a lot like a container
No it doesn’t, Termux is just a set of Linux packages which are compiled to use the Android Termux application data directory as the base install path. There is no separation from the host system like a container does with Linux kernel namespaces. The only permission in Termux is what Android itself enforces.
You got me there, like a container without containing it?
But I suppose most like a privellaged container (as much as the android user is privellaged).
The most important connection in my analogy though was it runs its ‘root’/those packages separately from the android operating system, cause we can’t install our own packages there
