With Android 15 officially supporting Linux, it’s likely to bring a few significant tech developments in terms of how Android and Linux-based systems integrate. Here's what might come next:

Increased Availability of Linux-Driven Devices: Google’s move might encourage smartphone and tablet manufacturers to experiment with Linux-based distributions, potentially creating more Linux-powered mobile devices. This could lead to devices specifically optimized for Linux environments or dual-boot systems with Android and Linux. However, how quickly manufacturers will embrace this remains to be seen, as Linux is traditionally niche in the mobile market.

Better Android-Linux Compatibility: The Linux support in Android 15 is likely aimed at better compatibility and flexibility, so you may see Android 15 and 16 offering a more “Linux-like” environment, particularly for developers. It might also mean easier adaptation of Linux tools and apps within Android, bringing Android closer to the kind of customization and bloat-free environment Linux users enjoy.

Streamlined, Modular Android Experience: Google has been working to make Android more modular and less bloated over the years. Linux support could help accelerate this, especially with core features that could operate more independently. An Android version closer to Linux’s structure would mean a more streamlined system, likely with better resource management, more direct hardware control, and reduced bloatware.

Development of Linux Applications for Mobile: With official Linux support, app developers may get more freedom to create Linux-specific mobile applications that can work seamlessly on Android. This could enable tools usually exclusive to desktop Linux environments to operate smoothly on Android, which would especially appeal to power users and developers.

Custom ROM Growth: This could reignite interest in custom ROMs that offer a closer-to-Linux experience. ROM developers might use this foundation to create Android versions or alternative OSes that reduce bloat and provide a more streamlined, Linux-like feel on mobile devices.

While it's likely that Android will retain its unique identity, the line between Android and a «pure» Linux experience may become more flexible, catering to both general consumers and Linux enthusiasts
