Google is looking to offer a native Terminal app for Android, possibly with Android 16. The Terminal app will allow installation of a Linux VM with full GUI and GPU acceleration along with other sysadmin features including disk resizing, port forwarding, and partition recovery. This is an extension of Google's earlier project of allowing Chrome OS to run on Android using the Android Virtualization Framework.
Honestly, I’d rather have a working Linux phone that can run Android apps. I like being in control of my devices.
As we all do, but the reverse is sadly more realistic and would allow running those shitty banking apps etc.
Simple solution
Overthrow the banks
