it is quite ridiculous. as a passionate Samsung DeX defender at first, I dove right into that ecosystem when the s8 came out and am now at a point where my s10 is never getting a software update BECAUSE ANDROID BROKE THE API FOR SAMSUNGS WSL. Termux was a victim too to a much lesser degree but Samsung had literally had Linux on Dex beta and I was absolutely free to just have my phone.
It was incredible going to school, sitting down at a random monitor and just having all of my vscode files and blender assets follow me around
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoWhat a shame, I thought at least Samsung have their DeX albeit with special hardware. So no more DeX? I presume some new Android phones at least support mirroring through USB-C.
- Jonnax 6y agoNo DeX still exists. What Samsung had was a a beta of running a Linux distro in a kind of isolated container on Android. This also let you boot into Ubuntu 16.04 with external display and use things like VS Code. Google changed something in their APIs preventing the beta from continuing on newer versions of android.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoPerhaps because they removed exec() from userspace for apps targeting API 29 in Playstore. I don't buy Samsung devices as they indulge in discriminatory behaviour in my country (Pre burned excessive data hoarding bloat apps).
