From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is pretty standard on most decent cameras, although it's usually used with the camera and phone separate. Photographers will set up a a camera on a tripod and use a phone or laptop to control it remotely. It can be used to control multiple cameras.
The youtube and tiktok generation will mount the phone to the top of the camera, usually using the flash mount, and face it forwards. This way they can see the screen while they're facing the camera, and be able to see the framing of the shot while they're shooting.
The biggest problem you'll find is that the phone apps are designed for Android and Apple, or maybe Windows Phone. I haven't used a Linux phone, so I don't know if they run their own apps, or if they run Linux programs. If they run Linux programs, then it's just a case of finding one that controls your specific camera, and has the controls that you want.
Thx for the input! I'll research in the direction of it further more - maybe first with android in mind.
