    Honestly we probably can just somehow shove Linux components like flatpak and other stuff like the terminal into android, make them apks somehow so they can work whenever

    Of course this would be hard AF to do but I just want to run tik tok in a sealed off VM using flatseal goddamnit (I don’t trust it with my phone but I want to access the videos on it)

        Yeah, and then run a android emulator inside that and then use tik tok, reminds me of that attempt to run old Mac os on a Wii since they’re but PowerPC based, but it ended in a ton of conversions and it taking like 20 mins to click something, but it won’t be that bad probably

        Gonna mess with it once I get a new phone tho, can’t now since it’s filled with crap

      You can do many Linuxy-terminaly things with Termux. I use it quite often. Write shell scripts in vim, run Python scripts, SSH, use ADB tools to manage other android devices, install and update things with pkg/apt, traverse your phones filesystem as you would in Linux, if you have root on your phone you can even do root stuff! Heck, you can even run neofetch! All that and more on your tiny little phone screen!
