This is already possible if your phones ship with the KVM kernel module, like on some Pixel devices, but reading the article suggests that KVM will become standard on all Android devices to enable this.
edit: according to this[1], yes, the pKVM functionality that's standard in Android exposes KVM functionality so that you can run VMs on Android.

- walteweiss 3y agoWhich Pixel devices? Is it something new or not-so-new?
- heavyset_go 3y agoI couldn't tell you, sorry. Just going off what I've read in some articles like the one I posted.
- angm128 3y agoA full linux environment (with external monitor support) sounds awesome. I hope that enabled KVM becomes standard Would graphics acceleration work properly?
- anthk 3y agoYou can already to that with termux, XSDL and some scripts. No virtualization needed.
- heavyset_go 3y agoDepends on the kind of acceleration you want. VirGL is available on Linux host/Linux guest setups with recent kernels, not sure if QXL/SPICE will be available or can be added to the userland. Can't imagine a hardware passthrough situation making sense on a phone/tablet, either.
