Android 16 will include a Terminal and full Linux VM support with GPU acceleration - Lemmy.World

My question is, will it be a real VM or a container? They are both Linux, so it could potentially work. Anyways, I really like the idea of my phone also being my laptop that I can just plug a keyboard into, and not some big screen phone apps with a semblance of desktop layout.

This graphic shows that the platform is designed with full virtualization in mind. You can see that the VM on the right has its own kernel (unlike for example docker containers).

Am I the only one that smells DRM? Maybe this will become the new way Google can force stock Android with all of its spyware
