Termux X11's been a thing for some time, it's a full X server for android and can even use gpu accel if your hardware's lucky (usually snapdragon).

This feels pretty useless for running linux, especially when i can root my device for chroot and have gpu accel working with termux x11.

Would be pretty cool if I can run BSD or Windows ARM on a tablet though

seems like its still one of the best linux phones available.

I would recommend slackware or devuan with xfce or lxde

I'm from an East Asian country. :) Pretty sure I'm almost the only one tho..

It makes the phone harder to use, which is ironically useful to some. tbh I don't understand lol

fvwm :)

I don't hate it, but as a PC/phone user it's security features are almost never helpful and always cause issues so I just have it disabled.

You can always help overseas where you're safer.

i mean its pretty good if you get used to it.. i remember the shortcuts for all the major tools i use and it's very quick and easy to use for me.

Yeah sure but they do force snap for some packages (while making it look like apt running) and it isn't ideal. I don't see any reason to use ubuntu over debian unless I'm some corporation that needs to run the same version for 10 years with their subscription.

#1. The distro matters, but not much tbh. The main difference is usually the package manager being used, the default DE/WM, init system (sysvinit/systemd/openrc), and the variant of packages they ship. #2. Avoid Ubuntu if so. #3. I recommend Debian stable. #4. Can't say much about HDR, multiple monitors are probably fine. (different refresh rate and such can be a hassle to configure tho) #5. Yes KDE is a good choice.

+Photoshop/VS probably runs in WINE but I'm not sure. You might need VM.
