Security extends beyond container sandboxing with SELinux, the secure version of Linux implemented in Android 4.3 in 2013 and Chrome OS since 2012 or earlier.

The Linux Terminal’s inclusion supports Google’s mission to merge Chrome OS into Android, but today’s news offers even more real-world evidence of that goal’s potential.

The addition of Android app support was a huge plus, but app data and files are now spread across two file systems, and Linux container support would only add to that.

The free and open source ' Anbox ' is an Android emulator that uses a container format that shares the kernel part with the host OS Linux, aiming for light operation.
