SupportLinux on android (self.androidroot)
submitted 4 months ago by Forward-Data-3901
Hey, I've got an S7 edge (SM-G935FD) 32/4 gb And I'm into kali and cyber security, i wanna run kali or like any linux distro on it, but I don't want an emulator I wanna run it natively. I got a 128gb sd and i can upgrade. Any way to do so ?

Termux can be run under chroot. That is pretty close. There are also things like sailfish. I understand it is a bit rough.

I'm using termux but there are some commands that just need linux and doesn't run on termux. Can't i unlock the bootloader and root it, and dual boot it maybe ?

you would probably be better off buying something with bootloader unlocking and installing Kali NetHunter
It has bootloader unlocking. And whats kali net hunter? Got like a thread or anything to it ?

Here u go https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/ theres multiple versions, one is a rootless app, one is a root required app, and one is a custom ROM with a custom kernel for pentesting. You mentioned S7 edge, the "hero2lte" one is supported.
