TL;DR

  • Google has added a tabbed interface to the Terminal app in Android 16 Beta 3.
  • The Terminal app lets you run Linux apps in a virtual machine on your Android device.
  • Adding tabs makes it easier to multitask, as you can issue commands without having to wait for a process to complete.

    Okay so you want “actual linux and open source” AND it also needs to work on more than 1% of the phones?

    It’s like the people who complain about phones not having a SD card but they never buy the phones that actually do support them

    There are phones you can buy that run Linux in our open source check out the pinephone

      “Okay so you want “actual linux and open source” AND it also needs to work on more than 1% of the phones?” Is this ironic or did you actually just tell me an argument that ive first seen in a meme? Why cant you have a modern phone that also has linux - because of the stupid corporations. Also same with sd cards. If you want a modern, high end phone with an sd card it just doesnt exist. You shouldnt have to compromise but capitalism forces you because at this point there are like 5 companies that make phones and all of them benefit from you suffering. If qualcomm offered proper support, phones could have linux support but they dont.
