what's linux and why do i need it on my phone?
pardon my ignorance.

michaelwilli:

linux is an operating system just like windows. linux comes in different distributions otherwise called distros and if u like, u can call it version. these distros are made by different companies and each distro has it core functionality or do i say wat it was actually made for like kali linux was made for penetration testing, opensuse for servers and so on. linux has a better security implementation than windows which is why you hardly see linux users have an antivirus.
why u may need it on your phone?
linux is a powerful operating system and most of its functions come in the command line. u definitely cant learn all commands in a day. a phone is a more mobile platform dan ur laptop for you to increase.your knowledge about the os.
hackers can carry out some attacks right from their phones, they dont have to sit at a place and b confined to their laptops
can b ur own source of bragging rights among your peers.......
reasons depend on u.

Thanx bro, that was quite enlightening.
Android is another operating system, right? So if i install linux, it means I'm running both OS in one device, or does it replace the main features of the android?
Second, the free 4g of memory card, is it going to be consumed by the linux application or will it still be free for me to use for storing other things after installation?

uThene:
but that part you said "click on download image", where is it?

michaelwilli:
