eh, why did they choose a VM route? 🤦 Why can't we just run terminal against the Android OS? This is very similar to Windows' WSL solution. It works but brings unecesarry bloat. Security reasons I suppose. 🤷

I remember that LineageOS 14 (Android 7.1) had a built-in terminal that could be enabled via developer options
