Hey if you like the idea of #Linux on #Android, the #AndroidVirtualizationFramework now allows virtual machines to access the phone's storage (not all of it, but the same like any app). This removes a huge barrier in running useful Linux software on Android, even though it's still got a ways to go before we can launch Linux apps directly alongside Android apps.
Also, if you're a #NixOS user, check out the nixos-avf project: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-avf
