Thanks. Can you also write a guide on how to use the new desktop mode as well as how to run Linux GUI applications in terminal on Android 16.
The innovation I'm looking forward to is the desktop mode and running Linux apps on Android. I'm tired of AI, shiny Material or Glass, and even faster chip, etc.
