A month ago, I showed you in my article CAP in the pocket: Developing Java Applications on your Phone (a more concise version), how to run a CAP development environment on your phone. In this week’s short blog post, I use a different angle. I wanted to see whether I could run SAP’s Garden Linux on my phone.

If you’re waiting for my CPU time profiler blog post, it’ll come soon (hopefully on Monday).

Garden Linux is a Debian GNU/Linux derivate that aims to provide small, auditable Linux images for most cloud providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP etc.) and bare-metal machines. Garden Linux is the best Linux for Gardener nodes. Garden Linux provides great possibilities for customizing that is made by a highly customizable feature set to fit your needs.

TL;DR: Yes, you can install it. And it works somewhat.
