Android 16 lets the Linux Terminal use your phone's entire storage

I don't think this will be useful in the long run.

Using termux to ssh into my dev box already gets me access to a full Linux machine. I also think it's preferable relative to what Google is doing here creating a VM under a VM with weird bugs.

by "phone" they mean pixel, so the title should read "google lets other stuff use google, sometimes"

It would probably help to read more than the title. The line right below the title says:

> With the latest Android 16 beta, you can now allocate as much storage as you want to the Linux Terminal

You can now allocate as much storage as you want to the "Linux Terminal" app that runs in a VM. Nothing to do with letting Linux terminal commands access all your data.

And if you are curious enough to read more than the first sentence, but don't have more than 25s of attention span, you can read the next paragraph which is literally called "TL;DR".
