A new Linux CLI program called term.everything allows users to run GUI windows directly in their terminal, utilizing a built-from-scratch Wayland compositor. Users can experiment with various applications, including games and web browsers, but may encounter issues with some apps failing to launch. The program, written in TypeScript and C++, provides a unique way to experience graphical applications through terminal emulation.
The upcoming Android 16 QPR2 update will enhance the Linux Terminal app by allowing access to nearly all shared storage on the device, rather than just the Downloads folder. This change aims to simplify file sharing and improve workflows for users leveraging Linux tools on Android devices. The update is currently available in beta and is expected to roll out in early December.
