AI disclosure: NoBrain Linux was created 100% with AI. Its creator is not a programmer, software developer, or IT professional—just someone who loves Linux. This is a personal project, so its early design reflects the creator's own needs and may not be the right fit for everyone. Criticism, suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are sincerely welcome. They will help NoBrain grow into a project that more people can use and enjoy.
NoBrain Linux is a pocket Linux desktop environment for Android. It combines an ARM64 Void Linux userspace, a customized DWM desktop, and an Android-hosted X server in one application. It uses PRoot, so Android root access is not required.
The current public pre-release is NoBrain Linux 0.1.5. Its runtime checkpoint is Build 185.
