Very interesting news. I haven't tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that'd be huge.

Put it on your phone. It runs inside a container, so on top of stock android. All your normal phone stuff is still there and running. Worth noting android has good support for mouse and keyboard.
Edit: user below pointed out that this does not appear to be an app, which kinda makes it a weird choice? Seems like there are still better solutions like Userland, Andronix, and LinuxDeploy

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.
Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.
Yeah, I seem to have believed the title of the article before reading the article for some reason. My bad.
All good!
Funny you should mention UserLAnd
I have seen the likes of similar, like Andronix but I typically don't want to buy into proprietary software where possible. Thank you for sharing!
