Ubuntu Linux can run on Samsung phones without rooting, using a PC, or installing custom ROMs. The setup uses Termux and VNC Viewer apps to create a full Ubuntu desktop environment alongside Android. The process involves enabling developer options, disabling the Phantom process killer via wireless ADB, installing Ubuntu through an automated script, setting up a VNC server, and installing a lightweight desktop environment. Once configured, users get a complete Ubuntu desktop with file manager, terminal, and the ability to install Linux applications using apt commands. Connecting a keyboard and mouse transforms the phone into a functional mini Ubuntu PC.
