If you want to install linux, you can get ArchLinux on your phone. The thing is, it does not wipe your Android, but installs as a virtual machine. Not sure if anyone knew this before but there was an app called "ArchLinux installer" which could install it without any problems. I have no idea as to why the app was taken down though.

EDIT : You can keep up with a youtube channel "OpenSourceGangster". Not sure if people knew this one already. But just my input :)
