What Samsung had was a a beta of running a Linux distro in a kind of isolated container on Android. This also let you boot into Ubuntu 16.04 with external display and use things like VS Code. Google changed something in their APIs preventing the beta from continuing on newer versions of android.

Perhaps because they removed exec() from userspace for apps targeting API 29 in Playstore.

I don't buy Samsung devices as they indulge in discriminatory behaviour in my country (Pre burned excessive data hoarding bloat apps).
