@siz1700 the biggest issue is not porting Wine or Proton, you can just compile them from source and have a native ARM version, the biggest problem is getting Steam client on ARM as well as games. Currently probably no games support ARM so they have to run through box64 or other emulation software, and I think, Wine or Proton should also run under them and it's unavoidable. Just making games native for Linux would cut the layer requirement just to box64.
@@Damgladormaybe that is the huge change valve is waiting for so they can get started on the deck 2 since they said they would release one if there were a big enough leap on power. The latest Snapdragon processors can run cyberpunk at 60 fps so in 5 years or so I could start to see arm processors on the steam hardware surveys
@@ShadowKnightOfficial Idk what apple is thinking. They already migrated they Macs to ARM and they tablets uses the same processors as the MacBooks. Also, they system is unix-like.

Tab S11 Ultra with the 8 Elite will become a coding powerhouse now. Those tablets already get multi-day battery life. This is a huge step. Assuming Linux support drops soon for the Oryon chips (Also for the X Elite)

from the context of the video, gpu is still not enabled . to enable gpu support inside the v.m, create a folder "linux" in /storage/emulated/0 and create an empty file inside that directory named as "virglrenderer" . Also select angle as an OpenGL driver for Terminal app from developer option.
Im majorly geeking out on this usually we needed to run termux or some kind of proot helper or running a rooted os and running a chrooted linux enviorment for getting native linux and it lacked gpu support this is awesome in so many ways thanks for covering this
UA-cam recommend me your video like after many years and when I hear your voice I feel like it's 2018-19 again and I'm going to flash custom rom in my POCO F1 after watching many times same video tutorial.
1:34 Termux does let you run a full desktop Linux distro with a full desktop environment without root already AND without virtualiation too, tho sadly for the time being hardware acceleration isn't there yet for a lot of devices, for the time being
This will be so cool ,especially for developers who work on programs like Blender who arnt interested in porting and maintaining mobile versions of their apps and for kids that dont have PCs or cant afford but can get their hands on phones ,which is easier. I would personally like to dig up some old phones install android 16 and use them to run mini servers .
Still question to why need virtualization for that. When android is built on linux kernel and you can today run linux natively and with gpu acceleration, through termux. Also with termux:X11, to run xfce, for example. And that runs on android terminal. Also you can install proot distro, like debian But seeing that android is improving in something like this is cool
I'm not sure with this one but I'm guessing that virtualization is mostly for safety reasons, just like testing in a VM on a PC to avoid issues. Also as far as im aware most mobile processors run ARM as their architecture and Google may want to add an option for it to toggle a translation layer for the architecture which means more compatibility and all that stuff? Those are just my speculations however I think it makes sense for them to make it like that to open up some possibilities later on. We also should keep in mind that it's still being introduced, so we never know. I've got high hopes for this, let them cook.
i think security is the main reason why they use vm for the linux environment rather than using the system, because imagine if you have banking apps, then your friend is expert in linux, it could easily be cracked
Your description says "it seems like" google is giving android ChromeOS fearures, but actually theyre preparing to sunset ChromeOS altogether. Theyre moving a lot of the ChromeBook related stuff to mainline android

it will eventually happen .. AVF is very powerful .. Google already told, android 16 will get huge under the hood changes . That will be foundation for future iterations.
Fun thing about this and Termux is that it can potentially turn your old phone into a capable mini server. It is probably as powerful if not more powerful than Raspberry Pi 5.
I've already installed Linux on my Pixel 3 XL and it does work pretty good. I hope I can do this on some newer phones. Although, I think this has something to do with Chrome OS being replaced by Android.
This is huge, and keep in mind that at the exact same time Termux is working on proper Vulkan API support even on older android versions: That means GPU acceleration for almost any ARM64 piece of software without the need for virtualization nor root
@kskroyaltech oh and if you're running a VM you can use systemd in it already, which is what the new Android does from what I'm aware? You just can't get HW acceleration yet, and _maybe_ it's a bit less efficient than those new android releases will be but I'm not sure

I have questions! 1. Are you running x86 or ARM versions of Linux? 2. VNC is laggy--would it be possible to output to Termux-X11 instead? I hope Google implements their own Android X client.
We know that Valve is working with Google on something and Valve has been working on porting Proton's translation layer to the ARM architecture. I wonder if this is all to do with that.
I am shocked bro OLLAMA runs next level. Didn't expect that. I wonder how pixel 9 xl performs .. Sadly you can't run bigger models like LLAMA3 because of Low disk space.
Guess what I ran the same command. It deletes some root files .. For example bash.. and terminal got crashed. it dint launch at all after that. I have to factory reset the device to get that again.
That's is great, but very similar to wsl. If they could do a more native approach it would be great, since the kerneld are similar. But I understand how hard it would be, so they choose emulation. Seens like I'll still be using termux for the cli tools, and this for the gui stuff.
how about RDP, does it work using xrdp from host then use microsoft remote to do a desktop env session? i dont like the stutterness of xvnc so xrdp should be the solution
Finally those portable devices will serve a purpose, now it will be possible to use a useful operating system, such as computing, and not be exclusively an entertainment device with telephony functions.
This is great. Looks like I'll finally be able to use my phone as a real computer in a pinch. What's the performance hit like if all of these are running on a VM?
This will be awesome for devs. Termux is kinda a pain. This will be much easier. Like, skip making android apps. Thank God. Now let's shop future 16 phones and tablets.
by the way, the s24 or any current samsung phone will not work with the terminal as the terminal uses android virtualization framework which no samsung phone supports as of now, however, google is soon mandating that all phones have avf which is good

It won't have the same features through. You can run your own distros even use systemd, which makes it really flexible.

If you want stable distros. Use Debian 12 book worm.
time for get desktop operating system from google like chrome os flex
Can we do VPN share (ip table modifying) ??
Great, but as long as it's not the real Linux kernel replacing Android, it doesn't satisfy my needs for cell phones( using system calls, and working with serial ports, TTY, and system files ).
How did you install the desktop
It's simple to run desktop. Thanks to pKVM.
@kskroyaltech yes it's a great addition to the pixels: if this option doesn't come to Samsung phones I might switch to pixel if the terminal gets more mainstream and actually makes it to the full build of android 16 : honestly my biggest wish is simply to be able to run (android studio, xcode, Adobe, affinity and a bunch of other programmes) on my phone or tablet as I want 1 single device I can connect to a monitor and all my work is just there no computer no tablet just a phone capable of doing everything: I hoped apple would grow up and bring macos to the iPad pro but no : and I was honestly fuming back in the day where Samsung discontinued their : Linux on DEX : program due to "lack of users" I don't think it was the reason and it ran Ubuntu 16 that was quite old back in the day
It looks like it is difficult to read text on a standard Pixel model. I imagine that the text would be far more readable on a Pixel Pro model.
I started to salivate imagining this on my s8 ultra
Not exactly how i expected to get a linux tablet, but i will take it
What about network without root? ifconfig, tcpdump, etc.
Didn't try yet will update over the time. Its still in experimental
state.
I wonder, how good/bad is the youtube video performance on this ? are we getting stable 60fps on 1080 videos? I'm genuinely curious
I tried playing 1080P video, my pixel 7a got so hot and frame drops are getting dropped eventually.
@kskroyaltech oof so gpu performance is still meh
