Just curious if there's a way to enable pkvm to run a linux vm on-device. :)

Hi there,

PixeneOS is all about signing GrapheneOS with your own keys while optionally adding root solution like Magisk and other Chenxiaolong's modules.

However, I did go through the Google's docs and learnt that you should be able to enable pKVM on your Android if you're running Android 13 and up with below commands:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem pkvm enable
fastboot reboot

do note that OTA updates can disable this.

I realized I can't test this because I only have a 5a, which doesn't support pkvm. It'd be a neat feature, (especially paired with upcoming wearable displays)
I just brought it up because it seems to require a unlocked bootloader. I'd be curious if others get this working in the future... :)
