From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're already running linux. There is no such thing as linux emulator.
If you want to run debian - install debian. It eill be one hell of a learning experience.
Debian supports my device?
Tjisb is I need a way to interact with it on the phoen alone
Nah they're wrong debian doesn't support 99% of android hardware, most of which is proprietary and non reverse enginered.
The best you can do is termux, but there are ways to get gpu acceleration depending on your hardware
So only option is twrmux?
Essentially yeah, any phone that can run linageos has a lot more options but a lot worse support for anything that doesn't like root.
If you are one of those lucky few you can look into things like Ubuntu touch
I looked at Ubuntu but the best I could do is a clone of the launcher. Its real picky
I don't use either (I just use the lightweight Terminux, don't get a full Debian environment), but either of the following should work:
