    Oh nice maybe I can finally leave my samsung behind. But I’m guessing if it were to use grapheneOS it would break desktop mode

      Probably not. The barebones desktop mode has been integrated into Android core for quite a few years now. So it is safe to assume that it is there in GrapheneOS. But yes, someone should confirm that.
      I can confirm that it is present in LineageOS.

        The option is there on my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, but I have no idea if it will actually work, as I’ve never had a need to use it. But at least we know the option seems to be available.

          Oh that’s awesome I’ll have to ask around or search if it’s possible. I use desktop mode daily on my Samsung to VPN into a vm I have at home so I can mess around with pictures or things during lunch

              I had no clue this was a thing! I thought Samsung Dex was some exclusive feature. Feels like this would be great for public computing spaces where they provide a hub, keyboard, mouse, and monitor and you just bring your phone with ya and connect over data

            We’re all (mostly) here to help each other. I’m just giving back a minimal fraction of what I get here.
