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.

I have Android 15 (regular release) and it's there. Feels snappy I didn't use it to run desktop environment though.

Does it include package management? Can you run Python for example?

Yes, it has full access to Debian repos.
