I think the next version of Android is supposed to include a terminal that can run Linux.

I don't know the specifics but it would be better than having to root the phone and use chroot.

It's sad that a phone running java on top of Linux isn't able to run Linux app without big downside like termux and proot. Hopefully it changes.

Android has a terminal in the newer beta versions, indeed - a proper one

it was sorta possible before too, but now, it can start up programs with a window etc (and of course someone ran doom on it)
