Can I use linuxdeploy to turn my mobile into a mini development environment #1333

Hello,

From my limited tryst with linuxdeploy, I see that it pre-installs some packages like containers do.. and when I try to run any sudo command, I see Killed message! My doubt is - can I turn my Samsung phone (uses Exynos) into a mini Linux development environment with all build-essentials and editors ? I want to run Ubuntu and be able to do a bunch of sudo apt-get install <packages>

Thanks.

there are things that still doesn't work if you play to use an android as a development environment. like for example, docker won't work because the kernel in most android devices doesn't support "cgroups". If you want zero issues while doing some coding stuffs, I suggest you get a proper pc.
