My phone screen is shattered, totally un-usable. When I plug it into my computer (Linux Mint) it is recognized but I can not enter pin to unlock the screen and also USB debugging is not enabled :(

Is there any way to get the fotos and stuff off the phone?

If you have a usb OTG cable/adapter and the phone supports it, you can plug a mouse and keyboard into it and use it like that. I've also used an adapter that outputted to hdmi
