[Toybox] "Linux development environment" in Android 15 QPR2?

[Rob Landley]

Anybody know what this actually means?

The article's author thinks you'd basically run an arm64 debian image in 
a container, but admits they're just assuming that based on chromeos. It 
seems a little more than just packaging the Google Terminal app from the 
play store into the base OS image, but I dunno how MUCH more...

I note I've wanted a "posix container" in android for quite a while:

Earlier discussions on here talked about "each app has a single UID", 
"the paths are weird", "where is reliably writeable space", "adb shell 
has far more permissions than the terminal app and only one really gets 
regression tested", etc...

Sucking in a GPLv3 systemd environment that shares no plumbing with the 
host OS seems less than ideal, but "what image would you put in there to 
build Android under Android" isn't a small question either. Container 
support so Android _can_ nest seems generally good, and hopefully no bad 
assumptions get baked in. I'm mostly just wondering if there's a good 
place to follow for more information...

P.S. Don't get me started on https://www.samsung.com/us/apps/dex/ , you 
think a USB 3 hub that can both charge the phone AND forward video 
through a USB to HDMI adapter would be a little more straightfoward, but 
you go into Target and grab a USB-C to HDMI adapter and NOWHERE does it 
say whether this is displayport that won't go through a hub or UVC that 
will? Assuming you're running a version with driver support 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class#cite_note-3) and 
whether that's capture support or output support and what you'd have to 
do to enable it... Ahem.
