Enable AVF support

[nyyxx]

Hi,

My suggestion is to enable AVF support for the upcoming OneUI 7 stable release.

Is there a specific reason for not supporting this feature? , the flaship s24 series has more than capable chipset to support AVF and 

pkvm acceleration 

Some of the benefits of enabling AVF:

• Improved security and isolation for processes and apps
• Ability to run a full fledged linux VM with upcoming support in Android 16

Samsung already has DeX feature built into it's flagship devices and enabling AVF for these devices would allow to run more desktop level applications on these increasingly powerful devices.

It also would be great to have some commitment there, for either "go" or "no go". So we know on advance what to expect.

I wanted this too and am rather annoyed that Samsung have locked it out for unknown reasons.

This is absolutely the next logical step in the evolution of DeX. Life changing for many users.

Vm would be so useful, especially with Samsung Dex, I can't understand why Samsung isn't including this mandatory feature.

My Google pixel 6a can run a Linux terminal and I can't do anything on my S9 ultra where it would be a killer feature.

Would really get a lot of use out of AVF (and further the Linux terminal) especially considering when using Dex. I am a developer and it would be absolutely awesome to be able to use my phone for everything.

Considering samsung used to have a LinuxonDex app, I really expected this to be a fundamental feature. 

I was all in on the Samsung ecosystem, but I'm looking elsewhere for my next phone, tablet, laptop, and TV

I am a programmer and was looking forward to AVF enabled linux terminal. I use dex a lot and avf feature was truely what i was waiting for. But to see samsung not giving it is disappointing.

If i were to upgrade now, i can not choose samsung. May be pixel or motorola phone with wired display connection.

I second this, I don't usually comment but feel like this needs all the support it can get.

There is immense value for enabling AVF, especially for Samsung's tablet. I have a Tab S9 Ultra, having a Debian running KDE Plasma will make it much more powerful. Being able to access desktop apps like Libreoffice, Code etc. will make it a true alternative to product like MS Surface.

I can imagine Samsung capture certain segment of the market with no added cost by simply enabling this feature. Value addition without R&D.
