Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can’t find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

    Don’t quote me on this but I’m quite sure you can run Linux on Samsung phones with termux/prootdistro

    Edit: I specifically mentioned Samsung because of their Dex mode but it seems plenty of other phones also allow video out via usb these days. I can’t say for sure they work well with Linux but I do know it’s doable on Samsung.

      I remember the Ubuntu Touch had a feature like that that kinda worked, but they never fully commited to it.

      As for doing it through Termux, I’m not convinced that X11 works terribly well in Android for it to reliably extend a display to another screen. I’ve never tried though, so I could be we way off
