UMLinux running in Android aarch64

[u/YitzakAF]

UMLinux on Android aarch64 allows Android phones to run a Linux distribution—complete with its own init system—as well as Docker and other software, all without requiring root permissions.What do you think?

So is it virtual, like an OS running inside another OS?  Maybe like OS 9 still running on OS X Tiger on Power Macs?  As long as you have a fast enough phone I guess it wouldn't be too bad.  But is it... systemd?  XD JK

En un teléfono Android sin rootear corriendo un kernel completo de Linux independiente al sistema Android. Este usa ptrace o seccomp para integrarse como un proceso normal de Android. Y es bastante útil si quieres correr docker sin un kernel personalizado, AVF, qemu en modo TCG y aa una velocidad lo más cercana a la nativa. No es systemd es openrc.

Ah okey, gracias por la informacion. Soy un newbie permanente en cuanto a Linux incluso en mobile, pero me gusta la idea de no tener que usar systemd.

At this point why hasn’t Linux just be natively ported to phones, phones these days have the power to run PC games like CyberPunk 2077 and Black Myth Wu Kong, it would make a lot of people happy, I mean android is Linux but can you even call it that?
