When the android version is no longer supported but can run Linux inside it is it still safe to use or subject to the android security problems a legacy version would have?
- jeroenhd 3y agoThe kernel and the passive network services that are part of the Android system will still run (though you can probably kill them on a rooted system). The user mode processes like web browsers will still receive support for as long as the Termux project provides the. With some extra steps (chroots and such) you should be able to use the aarch64 version of Debian or another distro of your choosing instead of relying on Termux. This solution lacks proper hardware acceleration, though. A system such as Samsung Dex would be a much better solution to turning your phone into a desktop, leveraging the years of updates to Android apps instead of hacking Linux applications into Android.
