In their own words
Ika
Ika is a free, open-source Android desktop for Linux hosts. It runs an Android 16 build based on LineageOS 23.2 inside a Cuttlefish virtual machine. Android apps open in separate resizable desktop windows, can appear in the host app menu, and preserve DPI settings when the display changes size. GPU acceleration uses OpenGL ES and Vulkan. Game mode can launch games fullscreen with gamepad passthrough, alongside documented keyboard, mouse and touch input. Builds may include MindTheGapps, microG, or a de-Googled ROM without an app store. The project provides separate host-application and Android-image packages, with Fedora RPM, Debian or Ubuntu DEB, and Arch packages; ARM64 availability varies by distribution. Native builds target Apple Silicon and x86-64 systems. Source compilation needs at least 16 GB RAM and 300 GB storage, may take 3–6 hours or more, and Debian or Ubuntu require Mesa 26.1 or newer.
