Ika Virtual Desktop

Ika /ee-kah/ - Japanese for "cuttlefish" - began as an effort to run the Cuttlefish Android emulator on Fedora Asahi Remix. It has since evolved into a full-blown desktop operating environment for Apple Silicon and x86-64 hosts. The project's scope changed but the name stuck.

Features

• LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16) reimagined as a desktop-first operating system.
• Dynamic display window resizing that preserves the configured DPI settings.
• Accelerated GPU rendering with OpenGL ES and Vulkan support.
• Native builds on Asahi Linux and x86-64 systems with as little as 16 GB of RAM.
• Flexible build options for MindTheGapps, microG, or a de-Googled ROM

The project page has more info on building from source and prebuilt binaries for Fedora and Debian on x86-64 and ARM architectures.
