This is going to be nice. Good first step.

    Ok, the app doesn’t have any place to enter those commands. It opens up this msdos like blue terminal and it’s stuck there. I can’t type anything. And the keyboard shows when I press the back button on the phone. I can’t exit the app,I can only exit with the home button

      You need to enter these commands in the Linux terminal app, not in the X server app. Once the two apps connect, it should be possible to launch another terminal inside the X server.

      • Go to your phone Settings > About Phone and tap “Build number” seven times. You will receive notification that your phone now has developer options enabled.

      • Settings > System > Developer Options > Linux development environment. On that page, tap the On/Off slider.

      • You will find an icon for the new Terminal app on your home screen. It’s going to download 500 MB of data when you open it.

      • Long-press the Terminal app icon, tap Info > Mobile data, and enable Unrestricted data usage.

      • Now you can download more packages inside your Linux virtual machine using apt-get command, as described in my previous post.

        I’m pretty sure this is all in android 16 beta, which I don’t have. My dev options don’t include that Linux development environment option.
