Description by Andronix Apps (from Google Play)
Andronix runs a full Linux system right inside the app, on your Android phone or tablet. Pick a distro and a desktop, and Andronix does the rest. No root needed ⚡️

LINUX IN THE APP
• One tap installs Linux: ready-made images make it fast.
• Real desktops with sound and optional GPU acceleration (experimental).
• Keyboard and mouse support, and layouts for tablets and foldables.
• Pin Linux apps to your home screen, and share files through Download/Andronix.
• A notification shows what's running and how much memory it uses, with Open and Stop.
• If something fails, Andronix can send a problem report for you (it asks first), and shows the fix right away when it's a known problem.
• In 8 languages, including Russian.

HOW IT WORKS
Andronix runs Linux with PRoot, so nothing on your phone is changed and no root is needed.

LINUX DISTROS, NO ADS
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Debian 13, Kali, Fedora, Arch, Manjaro, Alpine and Void, with your choice of desktop: XFCE, LXQt, MATE or KDE Plasma (KDE on Ubuntu, Debian and Kali). Or the command line only. All free, no ads.

MODDED OS 2.0
Ready-made desktops, styled and tuned by Andronix: Ubuntu XFCE, Ubuntu KDE, Debian XFCE, Manjaro XFCE and Kali XFCE. Buy one edition, or get the Modded Pass for all five, with updates included. If you bought a Classic Modded OS before, it stays yours to install.

ANDRONIX PREMIUM
Early access to new editions and beta installers, higher download limits, a spot on the supporter wall, and a lower price on the Modded Pass. It's also the best way to support Andronix.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Browse, code, learn Linux, run servers and tools: anything that doesn't need the full Linux kernel. Some things are limited by Android itself (for example, most pen-testing tools that need raw network access).

REQUIREMENTS
• Android 8.0 or newer on a 64-bit ARM (arm64) phone or tablet.
• On phones with a Linux kernel older than 4.8, the app offers LXQt and the command line.
• Older or non-arm64 phones (Android 7.0+), or prefer a command-line installer? Andronix also works through Termux; the app links you to it.

OPEN SOURCE
The Andronix installer and all the free distros are open source on GitHub. The app and Modded OS are how we keep the project going.

Recent changes:
• Fixed crashes when opening the desktop right after an install, when leaving a screen that was still loading, and while drawing the terminal.
• Copying something very large in Android no longer crashes the desktop.
• Andronix no longer crashes on phones with an invalid proxy setting.
• Prices in the store load more reliably when the Google Play connection drops for a moment.

Comments on Andronix - Linux on Android for Android

★★★★☆ Emore Anzolin · Jan 23, 2025
Great idea! Especially to be used in the terminal, GUI are not realy usable in a phone. Ubuntu works well. Kali in the terminal do not show different colors for files, folders... Manjaro is not recognizing Pac-Man -Syu and text colors are not working. Fedora works well. Do not update the package manager!
★★★★★ Joker Joker · Jan 25, 2026
This app working 100% using help app termux and realvnc, very amazing app of install linux in 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.
★★★★★ 24.7 Open · Oct 6, 2026
Please remove kernel restrictions! It still works but is harder to install (keenel 4.4) (Fixed thanks!)
★☆☆☆☆ Ky Kustoms · Mar 3, 2025
Purchased pro and an Ubuntu mod neither of witch I can get to work total waste of money can't get ahold of any customer support either... far as I can tell user land works 💯 plus doesn't need a vnc viewer
★☆☆☆☆ Ricky · Aug 23, 2026
Do NOT buy modded OS in the app. The download links don't work, this project is abandoned, and you'll see the message on their Discord. The fact that these people haven't updated the app to prevent people from paying for something that doesn't work is just ethically and morally wrong. Don't support devs like these.
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
