Around Android 17 is likely when the desktop mode could finalize and not become a developer option upstream. You can test the developer option today. It's unlikely we'll be doing a lot of work on this when we know it's being changed a lot.
We have a lot of ideas for the Linux Terminal app but not being approached yet for the same reasons. Ideally we'd not want to be using Debian but a hardened distribution of some kind. The process of having GUI apps could be a little more seamless than running terminal, installing GNOME, doing sudo passwd to let yourself log in, praying it doesn't break and moving to GUI. Should just be like opening an app and selecting a VM.
