Although the Android system itself is developed based on the Linux kernel, users cannot run Linux software directly on Android by default, but Google’s ChromeOS system has previously been compatible with Linux software.
Now Google seems to want to bring this change to the Android system, so that the Android system can also run Linux software directly without using third-party software.
According to news released by the Android Authority, starting a few weeks ago, Google engineers began developing a new terminal application for the Android system, which is part of the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF).
This terminal application contains a WebView connected to the Linux virtual machine through a local IP address, and users can run commands from the Android system (host machine). In essence, this is equivalent to nesting and virtualizing a Linux operating environment in the Android system.
In the initial development, users needed to manually launch the terminal application through shell commands, and then they needed to configure the Linux VM. However, now Google is continuing to make improvements to integrate this terminal application directly into Android and transform it into an all-in-one application running a Linux distribution in a VM virtual machine.
Users can launch this new Linux terminal in Developer Options when completing subsequent development. After startup, they need to provide a Debian image to run Linux software. In the future, Google should also automate all these tasks.
In the end, this new terminal software should be able to implement an integrated application that integrates downloading, configuring, running and interacting with Debian VM instances, making it very easy for users to run Linux software in the Android system.
