Nope. But as mentioned in the article, some support for display servers might be coming in Android 16.

Networking does work. I was able to install packages using apt and also ping machines on my local network. Could be useful.
I guess in a pinch it could be used to ssh into other machines. However, I’m sure there are plenty of SSH clients available for Android, which are much more lightweight solution than running a whole VM.

It has access to /sdcard as a shared folder.

How does this work? The app doesn’t seem to have any settings related to it yet. Under /mnt in the VM I noticed folder shared that seems to match the downloads folder on my phone, which seems odd

Tested this on my Pixel 8a. Works as you would expect. Personally I have a little hard time coming up with use cases for this but I guess it’s kinda cool.

Yeah, kinda sounds this was designed by someone who has never actually attended a LAN party

The original Super Mario Bros. and SMB 3. The first console I got to play as a child was the NES at my grandparents’ house. Every couple of years I get a nostalgic craving and it’s usually those two games I return to. Also, there are many great rom hacks available if getting bored of the originals.

I think it would be useful with updates when setting up a new phone or after a factory reset when basically every app needs an update

So nice to be able to play more Portal after all these years
