TL;DR
- Android’s built-in Linux Terminal is getting new features with the latest Android Canary update.
- Android Canary brings several small interface changes throughout the Terminal.
- It also brings an Advanced settings menu to set memory limits and change screen timeout settings.
One of the most underrated features of Google’s Pixel smartphones is a full-fledged Linux Terminal baked into them. While it is particularly of interest to tinkerers, anyone can easily enable Terminal and even use it to run a wide range of Linux apps and games, such as DOOM. As Google prepares to add broader support for full-scale Linux apps, it appears to be introducing some changes to the Terminal app with the latest Android Canary.
