We make a Linux desktop distribution that runs as an application on top of any Android phone or tablet. The only requirement is that the Android device needs to be rooted and use Google's standardized GKI kernel. Here is video of Linux desktop running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (OnePlus Pad 2) : https://youtu.be/-QEq1EgUKP8?si=weaZ3c06plr1ZcAV

While this is a high end device, you can also run Linux desktop on a budget tablet with only 4Gb memory (for example Walmart ONN 11" tablet ).

We only support phones with HDMI output capability and we run Linux desktop on the secondary screens. Here is video of Linux desktop running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 based Motorola phone: https://youtu.be/hQqcjwKO9d0?si=LipYay5oe7hzhL2w

Our latest Linux desktop is now based on Debian Trixie (13.2). You can download a free evaluation version from www.volkspc.org. Also we have created a FAQ page with answers to common questions from the Linux community.
