Rumor is Samsung won't support Google's Linux Terminal (at least for their existing phones) since their Knox conflicts with the Android Virtualization Framework :-(.
Honestly I'd like to see Windows 11 running under this as well, but that seems incredibly unlikely.
It's interesting to hear because Samsung had a Linux feature previously: https://developer.samsung.com/sdp/blog/en/2017/10/18/samsung...
They had Linux on DeX in 2018, killed in 2019. It was a partnership with Canonical

It was the Ubuntu 16.04 desktop running in a LXD container. It crashed when the tablet went in out of memory, so I had to be careful with what I was running.
Maybe it's possible anyways? Qualcomm was able to integrate their own hypervisor on top of AVF
