About this app
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 π
Features include a couple of different themes, a search feature which allows you to search from a multitude of different search sources (both local and remote), and customisation options.

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. π

Widget support is a bit of a pain point as the Android documentation provides no information on how to do this. But might still happen, someday π A KDE theme could be taken care of, but I fear that it would be almost identical to the Cinnamon theme. I might look at KDE's mobile desktop for some inspiration, though.
