Android 16 Beta 4 uncaps the disk resizing slider, allowing you to allocate your phone's entire storage to the Linux Terminal.

This is going to be nice. Good first step.

    That’s not what this is about at all.

    With the latest Android 16 beta, you can now allocate as much storage as you want to the Linux Terminal

    until recently, it was restricted to just 16GB of storage space

      Yeah, but that means that not the entire storage is available like the headline implies.

        VMs can’t ever do that on any OS. I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation.

          Correct. The whole thing is lauded as this revolutionary new thing but in reality it’s just a bullshit VM isolated from the rest of the system. We have had that almost for as long as Android existed. Along with Termux and similar that actually can access everything.
