2025-07-28

Google's Android Linux Terminal app, a hidden gem allowing users to run full Linux apps within Android, now supports graphical applications in the latest Canary build. A new 'Display' button launches a graphical environment, enabling users to run desktop applications unavailable on Android. Hardware acceleration is also supported, boosting performance. This significant step opens the door for more powerful Linux software and even PC games, though compatibility remains a challenge. It showcases Google's ongoing efforts to merge Chrome OS and Android.
