it for sure does say how the other OS's get installed... as apps on Android.

it’ll probably run Android most of the time while on the go, but can launch Debian as an app for quickly pivoting to a new OS.

it's just an android fork and not a true Linux install. nothing but corporate lies in my book

@Bluegrass_Addict @bruhbeans Agreed. Doesn't Android 16 already have the ability to "run Linux as an app?" Even on Android 15 and earlier people do this using @termux, proot, etc.

The dodgy surveillance OSes, Google Android and #Microslop Windows, get installed on the device, while the trustworthy OS, Debian #GNULinux, gets installed as a constrained and restricted app?

Whatever happened to people's brains?
