Will it be powerful enough to kill Son Goku?
imo it’s too good to be true.
I wonder how this will effect the linux phone space (mobian, postmarketos, ubuntu touch). I hope it does not negatively impact progress by stealing attention away.
so, like ASL (Android Sybsystem for Linux) ? :-D that would be crazy.

Jokes aside, this appears to be a full virtual machine rather than something like WSL that can interact with and manipulate the host OS. You probably won’t be able to do anything interesting with your Android files using it, just mess around in a sandboxed distro. So it’s still good for developers who want a portable Linux environment to run things in, but not nearly as useful as a properly integrated terminal would be.
WSL 2 is a full VM. And then there are some things microsoft are doing so you’re able to access the windows partitions.
Right, I should have specified isolated VM. WSL and Windows are interconnected (even if some things, like accessing Windows files within WSL2, are horribly slow). Google’s solution probably won’t have anything like that, given their reluctance to allow users access to Android’s underlying systems.
What’s the catch?
Sounds a bit like the linux container in chromebooks. Looks like Google is planning to merge chrome os and android in future
