Description
Andronix lets you install a Linux system on your Android Device without root ⚡️.
How does this work? Andronix uses PRoot to run your favorite Linux distribution on your Android devices. Andronix uses Termux as the terminal for Andronix Operating System.
What can you do with Andronix? Pretty much anything you like to do. The Linux Containers are limited by the lack of the entire Linux kernel support, the SELinux policies of your Android versions, your CPU architecture, and your device's hardware. We have users replacing their actual laptops and computers with Andronix. If you are looking for something that can support web browsing, coding, or anything else that is not taxing on your phone's hardware, you can use Andronix without any issues.
You don't have to worry about multi-booting your system, which means you can have all the Un-Modded and Modded OS installed at once, all 12 OS at once, given that you have the storage for it. Install as many as you like, uninstall them when done.
How can I access it? Linux containers that Andronix provides can is accessible via a CLI (Command Line Interface) as one would have with an SSH connection to a remote system, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) with various Desktop Environments such as LXQt, Xfce, and LXDE and lastly, GUI powered by Window Managers like Awesome, i3, and Openbox.

Is it free? Yes! ⚡️ Andronix is completely Ad-free and all the Un-modded distros and free to use as much as you want.
On the other hand, Modded OS is paid but is very economical considering it is a lifetime purchase with unlimited installs on unlimited devices. You can also get Andronix Premium which is another way to support the developers. You also get a few perks, including online sync with Andronix Commands and a web app to access it from any device you want.
Are we open-source? 📖🔓 Yes and no. Andronix is partially open-source. All the free distro tar files and the shell scripts are available on our GitHub repository. While all the paid things, like the actual Android app and all the files concerning Andronix Modded OS(s) are closed-source for apparent reasons.
That doesn't mean that we don't love open-source; we 💘 open-source. So if you're a developer or a maintainer of an open-source project, we will be more than happy to provide you with everything for free for life. Just get in touch with us and complete the process of verification😊.
What OSs do we support? Andronix currently supports 8 Un-Modded OS and 4 Modded OS at the moment. * Un-Modded OS 1. Ubuntu 2. Debian 3. Manjaro 4. Fedora 5. Kali (Most of the pen-testing tools won't work due to kernel limitations.) 6. Void 7. Alpine 8. Arch (Beta support)
What Desktop Environments do we support? 1. LXDE 2. LXQT 3. XFCE
What Window Managers do we support? 1. Awesome 2. I3 3. Openbox

Comments on Andronix - Linux on Android for Android
★★★★☆D. T. C. Wee· Jul 18, 2026
It does something quite clever: implements a desktop on top of Termux, which is far more lightweight than Overland. While it does 'work', the base distros are aging (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04) and updates can fail, meaning newer applications can't install. Persistence was also a problem, as Termux did not seem to get modified. I also dislike logging into a session as root. You could pay for the Modified OS, but the free version did not instill enough confidence in me.

It's an amazing way to learning Linux and how it works. You can also use it to accomplish some basic tasks such LibreOffice, playing sound and video etc. For me, it was a great way of learning since I don't always have my PC at hand. It does have its limitations though, OpenGL doesn't function due to Kernel not being properly installed, and you can't update grub with the new Kernel version since without root you won't have access to the /dev directory. But overall great tool for learning.

I had high hopes for this, but it's currently NOT easy to use. Even after purchasing a modded OS inside the app, the installation commands fail to work in Termux. I spent a couple of hours trying to fix the issue. I'm not creating a Discord account just to spend more time on this.

Purchased a Modded OS, but it would not download. I requested a refund and got no response.
★☆☆☆☆David Kettle· Jun 25, 2026
Technical support seems to be non-existent, they don't respond. You don't need this anyway, just use proot-distro that comes with Termux to install a Linux distro. Don't waste your money on this app.
