It's only been 17 years, but developers can finally stop finding workarounds for running Linux on Android devices. Google is working on official support for Debian Linux on Android through a new Terminal app. Imagine running Android Studio directly on your Android tablet!
The work on the Terminal app was discovered hidden within the Android Open Source Project (via Android Authority). It appears Google engineers are actively developing a Terminal app that leverages the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) to run a Debian virtual machine. It will allow users to execute Linux commands within a contained environment on Android devices.
Linux here we come. This is the best way to teach the world how to use Linux. Linux adoption is for real if this happens.
This would get me to switch to android alone.
I'm an old Android user (and never used other OSes) so welcome 🤗
you can alredy run debian on android using termux. this would only replace termux with an 'official' terminal app
Oh I guess I’ve been stuck on iOS too long.
thank fucking god, tmux dosent cut it
Nice
I bet they would never release it.
Why do you think so?
