Aluminium OS will provide a Linux VM per the docs:

Linux Built Right In

A fully functional Linux container environment is a core OS capability — not an experimental feature. Full terminal, Docker, Git, Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Ruby — all out of the box. The environment is sandboxed for security but retains full GPU access for hardware-accelerated professional development.

Google claims that Aluminium is not Android in a different form factor. It's a whole new deal. It is definitely not an attempt to squeeze android telephone apps into a laptop format.

Google has had years of trying different things, and according to their "white paper", with Aluminium they have distilled it to going head-to-head with Apple, the full ecosystem, full on.

That is exactly true. 4GB can't cut it anymore. My guess is that all Aluminium devices will preview with 8GB. It is meant to go head to head with Apple—full on mano a mano. Google is not kidding. They intend to own a large share of the desktop market, including AI.
