Andronix - Linux on Android 7.1-rc1-release

Andronix offers the convenient ability to install a Linux system on your Android Device without root access. This functionality is made possible by the utilization of PRoot, which allows for the execution of your favorite Linux distribution on your Android devices. Additionally, Andronix employs Termux as the terminal for the Andronix Operating System.

With Andronix, the possibilities are vast. While some limitations exist, such as incomplete Linux kernel support, SELinux policies of your Android version, CPU architecture, and hardware constraints, many users have successfully replaced their laptops and computers with Andronix. Whether you require web browsing capabilities, coding environments, or other tasks that do not heavily strain your phone's hardware, Andronix is a suitable solution.

An excellent feature of Andronix is the ability to avoid multi-booting your system. This means that you can have both un-modded and modded operating systems installed concurrently, with Andronix supporting up to 12 OS installations (depending on available storage). Feel free to install and uninstall as many OS options as you like.

Accessing Andronix

Andronix provides access to its Linux containers through multiple interfaces. A CLI (Command Line Interface) allows you to work with Andronix just like you would with an SSH connection to a remote system. Alternatively, you can choose from various Desktop Environments such as LXQt, Xfce, or LXDE for a GUI (Graphical User Interface) experience. Moreover, GUI options powered by Windows Managers like Awesome, i3, and Openbox are also available.

Pricing

Andronix is free to use, with no advertisements. The un-modded distros are entirely free with unlimited usage. However, if you require modded OS options, these are available for purchase. Despite being a paid service, the prices are economical, and your purchase covers a lifetime subscription with unlimited installations on any number of devices. Additionally, users can choose to support the developers by opting for Andronix Premium. This subscription offers benefits such as online sync with Andronix Commands and access to a convenient web app accessible from any device.

Open Source

Andronix is partially open source. The GitHub repository contains all the free distro tar files and shell scripts. However, certain components, including the Android app and files related to Andronix's modded OS(s), are closed-source for transparency reasons. Nonetheless, the developers behind Andronix wholeheartedly support open source and are willing to provide everything for free for life to developers or maintainers of open-source projects.
