Android will soon run Linux apps better, and that’s great for Google’s PC plans

TL;DR

• Google is working to improve the performance of graphical Linux apps on Android, which currently run slowly using inefficient CPU-based rendering.
• This will be achieved by implementing gfxstream, a technology that forwards graphics API calls to the host’s GPU for near-native performance.
• Evidence for this was found in a hidden “Graphics Acceleration” setting in the Terminal app that enables a new “GPU-accelerated renderer.”
