Has anyone tried running a GNU/Linux distro through AVF in recent versions of LineageOS? As can be seen from my signature, I am running old(er) versions of LOS on my Pro1(X)'s. The main reason for this is that I have relatively complex Linux-in-rooted-chroot setups in place, that are notoriously difficult to migrate to different Android releases. AVF introduced in Android 14 and 15 could be a game-changer for me as it - theoretically - enables official support of Linux-Distros in containers, potentially making my hand-made solutions obsolete. However, it is not clear to me if AVF is enabled in all LOS releases. In official Android, it seems to be limited to specific devices/SoCs. So what about the LineageOS 22.1 ports for the Pro1 and Pro1X? Do they include AVF or not?
