Google is looking to offer a native Terminal app for Android, possibly with Android 16. The Terminal app will allow installation of a Linux VM with full GUI and GPU acceleration along with other sysadmin features including disk resizing, port forwarding, and partition recovery. This is an extension of Google's earlier project of allowing Chrome OS to run on Android using the Android Virtualization Framework.
Terminal emulator apps that provide a Linux environment have been on the Play Store since long, but Google's implementation will be integrating the terminal directly into Android. The new Terminal app will allow running a full Linux distro in a VM and interfaces with it via a local IP address to pass Linux commands from the Android host.
But now, we might actually see some real-world benefits of this. According to Mishaal Rahman writing for Android Authority, Google is working on a Terminal app for Android. Rahman points to new "ferrochrome-dev-option" patches that have been submitted to AOSP, which add a "Linux terminal" toggle under Developer options.
