Testimonials

Loved by learners worldwide

When I started this project it helped me a lot to be able to use a Linux distribution on my phone, so I could access the desktop software that I needed so much, I never thought this was possible.

I always said Andronix have a great support team! It always answer every question! Other apps don't have such support, it answering for uhm... 9,999,999 days.

The best among the options I tried to install GNULinux systems. I have a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 plus, and a wireless keyboard / mousepad, I use it for daily functions, LibreOffice and Firefox mostly. Good way to have a reasonably functional desktop tablet.

Google Play Store

For anyone who's used Linux on DeX and is upset they cancelled it, I found an excellent replacement on the play store called Andronix. I've been using it the past few days now and I'm very happy with it!
