#Linux Terminal

In a feature request on Android's IssueTracker where a user asked the developers to open-source Debian VM tweaks and tell them the exact purpose of the VM, a Google engineer replied he main purpose of the Linux terminal feature is to bring more apps (Linux apps/tools/games) into Android, but NOT to bring yet another desktop environment. This more or less confirms that Google wants Android users to be able to run Desktop Linux apps, just like on ChromeOS. Adding to the statement, the engineer also said that Google's not against users or manufacturers installing or shipping another Linux Destop Environment like GNOME or KDE. Linux apps, for the most part, will use Android's native desktop windowing system.
