How to put Linux on a half-dead mobile?

Question

linux

There is an old mobile with a completely faulty screen, everything else is alive. Because it’s a pity to throw it out, I decided to attach it to housework, for this you need to put something on it with the ability to get into it via ssh. Tell me what you can read about how the OS is launched on mobile phones, and there are interesting articles about how someone got into the bootloader?
It's not a pity to scribble.
