OneUI 8 - Linux terminal not working

I’ve read many threads about the Linux terminal on Android 16 with OneUI 8, but none of them really provide a clear answer.

I heard that the Linux environment currently doesn’t work on Samsung devices because of issues with Knox, which blocks the VM, but supposedly that was solved since it works on some Samsung models? Then I also heard that the problem lies with Snapdragon itself, as it doesn’t support non-protected VMs.

The Linux terminal is such a powerful feature for power users that it’s almost a deal-breaker for me. Is there a chance that this feature will be fully supported on Snapdragon-based Samsung devices, especially older ones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra ?

It doesn’t work on OneUI 8, so maybe 8.5?

As of current, the android 16 terminal doesn't work on samsung devices. Third party terminal apps from the play store do work, though they are more limited.

It also doesn't work on the official android emulator. So I haven't personally gotten it working on anything yet

In developers options in Android 16 there's an experimental option to enable Linux development environment to run a Linux terminal.
