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.

Will it run on a 8t? Which instructions did you follow? I've one lying around and i'd love to test mobile Linux
I read on the droidian Matrix that the 8 and 8 pro were ported. You might ask there?
Also, no instructions. The droidian installer was pretty straightforward. Downgrade to the last Android 10 and run it.
Why downgrade?
This is common with these Linux on Android-based phones. I believe Ubuntu Touch requires you to downgrade to Android 9 in most cases.
Very strange and not reassuring at all, thinking that GrapheneOS and everything else use the latest software always. Doesnt sound like a good solution.
Something to do with firmware. I just follow the instructions
No available port for 8T yet.
