Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.
It requires more space than a “native” installation, but that’s about it. Its impact on memory and CPU are very minimal, nowhere near VM levels because it’s not full-on virtualization. Docker containers share the host’s resources rather than creating virtual everything for themselves. Think multiple Linux environments sharing one kernel and drivers and libraries and whatnot. Except the runtime has strict control over which container can use what and how.
So Docker costs more in space. And space is cheap. It’s a price well worth the features it provides and enables (networking, orchestration, etc).
