Very interesting news. I haven't tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that'd be huge.
You can already do that with termux-proot and termux-x11
HW Accel?
Yes, you can make it work on snapdragon devices (dont know about Exeynos or other)
hey i heard you like linux so here's linux running inside of linux
This interests me greatly. I would like to try this on a device, but I don't have an extra I can spare to do so.
I bought a OnePlus 6 rn, apparently one of the devices where you can put Debian on it.
Put it on your phone. It runs inside a container, so on top of stock android. All your normal phone stuff is still there and running. Worth noting android has good support for mouse and keyboard.
Edit: user below pointed out that this does not appear to be an app, which kinda makes it a weird choice? Seems like there are still better solutions like Userland, Andronix, and LinuxDeploy

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.
Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.
This pretty much opens the door for Proton on mobile I guess?
Proton on mobiles already exists Chech out Box64Droid
No, sadly, unless you have an amd64 phone, which would honestly be weird at this point.

Oh thats cool. Theres a similar one that lets you run dos.
