Kind of like the protective barrier that it provides. The Nix-On-Droid has a shit ton of apps available though. Plus being able to virtualize many other linux distros with AnLinux is nice too.

I think it will be interesting to see what the differences in native performance will be. I wonder what level of access we can expect to have?

Will this finally give us root out of the box?

It's a VM with it's own kernel, running Debian. From what I can see it has no access to Android, that's the point of a VM. It ties into Google's push to replace ChromeOS with Android. This is a feature ChromeOS already has.

I've used termux for a long time, it's a great tool. Any of the proot tools I have always found to be extremely flaky and not worth the bother.

In the future AnLinux or tools like it should be able to utilize this.

Ahh. No root. Still pretty fucking cool though.
