๐ฅ This is big: Android's Linux Terminal is available on the Galaxy Z Flip 7!
You can run full Linux apps in a VM. And with DeX, on an external display!
It's the first non-Pixel device to support it. Curiously, the Z Fold 7 doesn't have it. With the Linux Terminal + Samsung DeX...the Z Flip 7 might even be a better portable PC than the Z Fold 7? At least when it's docked!
