"Little did I know that Google would use the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) to run a local virtual machine powered by Debian to give users access to a lot of powerful commands, even a package manager, and I am 100% on board with the addition. Also: 6 hidden Android features that are seriously useful (and how they made my life easier) With the Linux terminal on Android, you can do so much more (assuming you are comfortable with the Linux command line)."
"The first thing I did with the new Linux environment was to install SSH, which would allow me to SSH into any remote machine I needed from the convenience of my phone. Here is how I installed SSH on my Android phone. 1. Open the terminal app If you do not already have the terminal app open, open it now. 2. Update apt Before you can install SSH, you have to update apt with the command: sudo apt update"
Android includes a Debian-powered Linux terminal that runs in a local virtual machine using the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF). Users can enable and install the terminal through developer options on updated devices. The terminal provides a full Linux environment with apt as a package manager and support for commands such as SSH. The default user account includes sudo privileges without a password, granting full administrative rights and requiring user caution. Installing packages follows standard apt steps: open the terminal, run sudo apt update, then sudo apt install <package>. Devices without the option are likely on older Android versions or awaiting rollout.
