Apart from development, one of the main reasons someone would want to have linux on android is to work with data on your mobile like sms, camera images or interface with apps using popular or custom linux apps.
Given the way Google has been restricting the utility of termux under the guise of security for the past few Android releases, I think they will keep the access to main os and it's data as minimal as possible.
It is great if it is, but I don't think it will be a substitute for termux and its api any time soon.
It's still better than nothing and a good thing for development purpose.
Edit: typo
- rerdavies 2y agoI agree. Permissioning is going to be a huge problem, given that I rather doubt that google is going to allow anyone to "sudo".
- rfoo 2y agoPretty sure Google is going to allow anyone to "sudo". ... in the Linux virtual machine.
- izacus 2y agoThis is bringing the ChromeOS version of containers which are completely isolated from the outside OS - they have their own mounted storaage. You can mount in some folders to share data, but that's it. You DO have sudo though. I bet it's going to be the same here.
