DroidDesk is an open-source Android app and setup toolkit that turns an Android phone into a full Linux desktop environment using Termux, Termux:X11, TUR, and Proot. It supports running desktop apps like VS Code, LibreOffice, and Blender, and can drive an external monitor via X11 or VNC.
Use cases
- turn my android phone into a linux desktop
- run vs code and libreoffice on android
- connect android phone to monitor as a pc
- run ubuntu apps on android without root
- offline llm inference on a phone
- use termux with a full desktop environment
- run kali tools like metasploit on android
When to choose
- you want a full Linux desktop with GUI apps on an Android device
- you want to use your phone as a portable Linux PC with an external monitor
- you want native (non-emulated) performance via Termux and X11
- you want automated setup of XFCE/LXQt/MATE/KDE on Android
When to avoid
- you need a mainstream supported Linux distribution on real hardware
- you require GPU-heavy workloads like Blender at full performance on mobile
- you need iOS or non-Android mobile platforms
- you want an officially Termux-affiliated or endorsed solution
