I have a Samsung a51 that I debloated, I want to use it as a Linux toy and get a distro running either installed or through an emulator like termux.
I want to run something like debian
Any recommendations for apps to use to get Linux running?

You’re already running linux. There is no such thing as linux emulator.
If you want to run debian - install debian. It eill be one hell of a learning experience.
Yeah, Linux is just the kernel, and android a layer on top of it with a GUI, anyway you can easily have a terminal open on a cellphone or even from a PC do a “adb shell” command and you’re in it, top, mkdir, cd, etc. If you are root, install busybox and all.
I guess OP wants to install a full distro on his cellphone?
Debian supports my device?
Tjisb is I need a way to interact with it on the phoen alone
Nah they’re wrong debian doesn’t support 99% of android hardware, most of which is proprietary and non reverse enginered.
The best you can do is termux, but there are ways to get gpu acceleration depending on your hardware
So only option is twrmux?
Essentially yeah, any phone that can run linageos has a lot more options but a lot worse support for anything that doesn’t like root.
If you are one of those lucky few you can look into things like Ubuntu touch
I looked at Ubuntu but the best I could do is a clone of the launcher. Its real picky
