Qualcomm Snapdragon chips miss Android 16 Linux Terminal support
AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया
Android 16's new Linux Terminal feature allows running desktop Linux apps on mobile devices, but Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, including the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, do not support it due to lacking non-protected virtual machine capabilities. Users must opt for devices with chips from Google, MediaTek, or Samsung to access this functionality. The limitation stems from hardware design choices prioritizing security over broader virtualization access.
