Local Desktop is an open source Android app that enables running full Arch Linux ARM64 environments on Android devices without requiring root access. Built with Rust, it ships with LXQt desktop environment by default but supports KDE Plasma, GNOME, and others. Users can install software via pacman and AUR, though the app logs in as root by default (non-root users can be created for apps like VS Code or AUR helpers). Installation can be slow, and the developer recommends using physical keyboards and larger screens or tablets for better usability.
