   Our 2025030900 release currently in the Beta channel is the first one with support for managing hardware-based virtual machines via the Terminal app in Android 15 QPR2. Since then, we've backported massive improvements to the feature for an upcoming new release, maybe even today.

     As a preview of what's going to be possible in the upcoming release of GrapheneOS, here's a screenshot from a Pixel Tablet running desktop Chrome in a virtual machine with basic GPU acceleration via ANGLE on the host. The infrastructure is a lot more robust than the Terminal app.

     At the moment, the Terminal app isn't compatible with having a VPN in the Owner user. It only works if VPN lockdown (leak blocking) is disabled and the VPN allows local traffic to pass through. It's also not clear how it SHOULD interact with a VPN since VPNs are profile-specific.

     Backports include terminal tabs, GUI support with opt-in GPU hardware acceleration (ANGLE-based VirGL until GPU virtualization support is available), speaker/microphone support and fixes for a bunch of bugs including overly aggressive timeouts. We're working on VPN compatibility.
