• Twelve distros (Debian, Alpine, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, and more)
• GPU acceleration (Turnip/VirGL)
• Host PulseAudio for guest sound
• Web, App, and Data Science stacks
• XFCE desktop with themes

Note: Distro rootfs archives download from GitHub after an in-app opt-in. No data is collected.

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
