Rumor is Samsung won't support Google's Linux Terminal (at least for their existing phones) since their Knox conflicts with the Android Virtualization Framework

Rumor is Samsung won't support Google's Linux Terminal (at least for their existing phones) since their Knox conflicts with the Android Virtualization Framework :-(. Honestly I'd like to see Windows 11 running under this as well, but that seems incredibly unlikely.

It's interesting to hear because Samsung had a Linux feature previously: https://developer.samsung.com/sdp/blog/en/2017/10/18/samsung-dex-linux-on-galaxy https://developer.samsung.com/sdp/blog/en/2017/10/18/samsung...

  They had Linux on DeX in 2018, killed in 2019. It was a partnership with Canonical https://9to5google.com/2018/11/09/samsung-linux-on-dex-android-smartphone/ https://9to5google.com/2018/11/09/samsung-linux-on-dex-andro... It was the Ubuntu 16.04 desktop running in a LXD container. It crashed when the tablet went in out of memory, so I had to be careful with what I was running.

Maybe it's possible anyways? Qualcomm was able to integrate their own hypervisor on top of AVF Linux Plumbers Conference 2025 | Adding Third-Party Hypervisor to Android Virtualization Framework https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1447/attachments/1166/2410/Gunyah+AVF%20at%20Plumbers%2023.pdf https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1447/attachments/1... https://youtu.be/hLdUCrlheKg https://youtu.be/hLdUCrlheKg
