Google is building a Linux terminal app for native Android development - here's why that's huge


Although Android already has a sandboxed Linux terminal available, this will be geared toward developers.

Even with that silence, a bit of new news has surfaced that points to Google releasing a new take on the Linux terminal app, one that targets developers. To resolve that issue, Google will have to add support for ARM in the Linux version of the Android Studio IDE. The report states they were able to run several GUI apps, including Chromium, GIMP, and LibreOffice (on a Pixel 8 Pro).
