> With Android 15 you even get a full blown Linux VM running on KVM. Is there anything more than a proof of principle that people (aka anyone who owns an Android 15 device) can try out? I didn't find any instructions for actually doing that.

It is very easy: https://deepakness.com/blog/android-linux-terminal/ https://deepakness.com/blog/android-linux-terminal/ Basically just go to developer options and enable Linux development environment. A Terminal app will be installed. You just need a non-Snapdragon Android phone. Because Snapdragon uses a different hypervisor than other vendors.

  Didn't find the "Linux development environment" option. I guess the article is based on a Pixel phone, and not all Android 15 ROMs are equal.

    Yes, not all ROMs support it in Android 15. But Android 16 is supposed to enable it in every phone.
