The good news is that Android is actually a version of Linux, so there really is no need to install a full distro on it, I would think.
Been on PCs since 1980... Am DOS fan ;)
Hated Win (and Apple) when they came out :p.. HAD to adapt to Winblows in the early 90s.. Hacked about everything they put out (including the “necessary IR, which I succesfully wiped from my system without negatives, back in the ‘90s.. was a Netscape junkie)..
About 2000, I tried out Linux.. hated it.. (and about every 2 years after).. 2008, I found Mint, and loved it; dropped WinBlows.. assisted a few friends in crossing over from Mac and Win ;^)
NEVER had a prob with format/install.. until now... the micro USB whatever it’s called is NOT friendly :/ (Unix based OS, but not user friendly) :p ... someone needs to make a guide... and we open source ‘ottaku’ (geeks) can add on as it ages :p
