I’m a big user of desktop mode on Android phones. Comes in handy when I’m traveling and have access to an external screen.

Most Linux phones, don’t have video out for desktop mode. Does your phone support it?

    I can only speak for the Pixel 9 on Graphene, but yeah, kinda.

    You can run Linux via Termux, but the output to a display is a bit clunky, as it’s just an app. It can run full screen, but has a tendency to crash, presumably as it runs out of memory, so it becomes an exercise in frustration. Fun to tinker with though.

      I will have to settle with grapheneOS until I pay off my phone and then I will get a Linux phone.

      Right now I have to work with what I got.
