Linux on Older and Obsolete iOS and Android devices

We should be able to install linux as a single-boot Operating system in Obsolete iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices, given they have significant Ram and very capable ARM processors.

​

Not as an emulation layer, but we should be able to install linux at the bare metal level.

​

But we are not able to because of the plethora of factors like locked bootloaders etc.

​

It would be such a great relief for linux users to use such capable machines, which otherwise just collect dust and die a slow death, or be an electronic waste.

​

We all can easily have a 5 node cluster running as a home server.
