Debian running on Android |
 |
While Android is a member of the Linux family, it is an unusual branch of the Linux family tree with not much in common with Linux distributions which run on desktop and server machines. The gap is narrowing, however, as Android will soon supply a terminal application which runs Debian in a virtual machine. It's FOSS reports: "We have known of Google working on a native Linux Terminal app since late 2024. It incorporates the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) and runs a local virtual machine powered by Debian that allows it to execute various Linux commands. Earlier this year, someone even managed to run Doom in it, showcasing the ability of the native terminal app to run graphical applications. And now, a recent report by Android Police has revealed that Google has quietly rolled out the Terminal app to some Android devices." This brings us a step closer to a merged ecosystem where mobile devices can be docked as used as workstation computers. |
