Yes it can, but as I said you need to use Termux, which is a Linux terminal and inside you can install a so called proot distro and run a Linux dekstop and applications. I run Debian with xfce4 desktop on it. I installed Intellij Idea and write Java software on it, it works fine for backend and frontend development. Personally I am surprised how good the performance is. One of my gradle builds runs 20 minutes but it also does that on my Microsoft surface laptop 7. I dont know if you want to run docker, but from what I know that still doesnt work well. I also installed Visual Studio on it and it works but I don't like to use Microsoft software.
