From the post:

>Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus' Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it's more powerful than most of my laptops. So why not use it as a laptop? Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced -- at long last -- a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop. Of course, Android is Linux. However, it's a mobile-first Linux distribution with a smartphone-friendly interface that bears little resemblance to the traditional Linux shell interface, never mind the Linux graphical user interfaces and their programs. That's changed now.

Has Debian come that far? I have seen the distro you refer to, I think the arch and Ubuntu ones are the front runners. Didn't recall seeing Debian getting in on the action

Devuan has multiple ARM builds. Biggest hurdle will be the radio drivers/firmware.

I’ve only personally used the Ubuntu ARM edition, but according to the :

Arm64 has been a first-class release architecture in Debian ever since Debian 8 'Jessie', with almost all packages built, and the standard installer working on various machines, and quite likely to work on new ones.

Most of the ARM packages I used in Ubuntu ARM are probably maintained by Debian devs.
