Pixel Phones Unleash Uncapped Linux VMs: A Step Towards Powerful Mobile Computing

Google's Android 16 Beta 4 removes the 16GB storage limit for the Linux Terminal app on Pixel phones. Users can now resize the Debian virtual machine's storage to utilize more of their phone's capacity. Future updates will introduce dynamic ballooning, automatically adjusting VM storage based on needs, eliminating manual resizing. While lacking GUI and audio support currently, this significantly enhances the potential of Pixel phones as portable PCs, allowing users to run Linux desktop apps alongside Android apps.
