DistroHopper • The Linux desktop in your pocket

Are you a Linux/open-source enthusiast? Whether you are or not, if it seems cool to be able to have the Linux desktop on your Android device, then this app is what you're looking for. Currently there is a choice between the Unity desktop, elementary OS' Pantheon desktop, and Gnome. Missing your desktop of choice? Get in touch and if there's enough interest I might just add it

Fun to play with but it seems to reduce functionality at the expense of esthetics. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the Gnome and Pantheon DE's look but they don't really add anything to my experience from what I can quickly tell. One bug I did notice, if you switch between different desktop environments the back button will take you back to the previously selected environment, especially from the home screen. Keep up the good work, possibly even figure out how to implement Linux software.

Very good experience. Its fast, aesthetically good. A few improvement are needed. Most importantly, Screen lock gets disabled while using this launcher which cannot be accepted.

I think this is a fantastic app. Using it on my Pixel. I use Linux everyday at work and home. I may be an IT guy, but I hate most phone launchers, so I'm super grateful for this simple, straightforward launcher. Support for multiple desktops and widgets would be nice but isn't necassary - maybe moreso on a tablet. Of course it would tickle me greatly if there were a KDE5 theme, but I can't even begin to complain. You have made me happy today. 😁

except cinnamon theme, the other ones are buggy.(1) In all the other themes, there is a home button and an applications tab...both of which does the same work..display a list of installed apps !! (2) The other 3 themes have a shut down like tab which shows launcher properties. Does not make any sense

Overall a joy. It will def feel more natural once you tinker with some of the setting, but I love the vibe this launcher gives my phone. True to linux fashion, no ads! I'm rocking it on my phone full time now.

Thank you for not being a cash grab! The other one I tried out that didn't require rooting was worse and a giant cash grab! I'm upset that I've tried so hard to root my phone with no luck. :( This is a little more fun than the regular home screen.

Very cool launcher, but for me the fact that you can't hide app drawer text or change app drawer icon size makes it unusable.

My review was deleted apparently. Great job accepting criticism. So here it is again. This launcher, though nostalgic, is nearly featureless and not worth your time. You could pick any "Lite" launcher on Play and still get more than 10 times the features, even during their beta. It's practically a demo and the app description is just bloat. I understand your passion and nostalgia for Linux, but this is a kid's project. EDIT: Right-click menu IS a submenu...so yes Linux does.

I'm not proud of it, but i rarely rate apps. This app is outstandong though. I would give it 5 stars if it had more Deaktops to emulate. It runs well and looks great.

This app is great but when I press the start button it doesnt work please fix. Also add windows themes (95-10). Add support for widgets. Thank you

not bad I love Linux as a high school student but the app needs lots of work please get the wigets to work on the app so i am able to see the weather forcast on my main screen but keep it up hope the next update will fix it

Awesome launcher!! Feels so close to Unity 7!! The only thing is that'd I'd like to be able to link apps and maybe files on "the desktop".

Jam. W. Oct 15, 2019     

I love it lots! It'd be great if it had an Ubuntu Touch theme since this it a phone launcher, but I'm still very happy with what's already here!

Pet. F. Jan 2, 2022     

So far I really like this launcher! I'd love to see icon pack support in the future but so far so good! I prefer gnome shell at the moment but I'll definitely be distro hopping in the future 👍

Bre. M. Mar 31, 2019     

I love the app but give it 3 stars. Apps for the lack of widgets. If the app had widgets I would give it 5 stars.

It worked like it was supposed to but I was quite sad that I couldn't use the elementary os icon pack that I installed as well.

I use it to escape never ending , over work home ineterfaces. Soooo much simpler. "God bless you little Timmy Kratchet". 😆

Swe. S. Jun 19, 2020

Should have support to launch apps in freeform mode on Android 7 and 8.

Jes. L. Sep 11, 2021     

Good if you like unity 7. Ps I dropped Ubuntu when they dropped Unity. Wish it worked on Samsung Dex.

Haf. I. May 26, 2020     

This is the best launcher I've ever seen! I hope you add the LXDE,LXQT,KDE and XFCE theme to the app! :D
