App support for tools like IDEs may be lacking (browser based debugging only, but there are cloud based versions of VS Code you can use) but I could do most desktop tasks on Samsung Dex. A USB C monitor with two USB ports for mouse and keyboard would be enough for many people.
It's unfortunate that Samsung abandoned its tests running a fully fledged Ubuntu when hooked upmto a monitor.

Yeah, sadly there are entry level laptops cheaper than a phone or said monitor plus a keyboard and mouse. I said "or" not "and". Plus you know, people cursing Apple for making Mac OS look more like iOS. I don't think the great convergence will happen any time soon. > browser based debugging only, but there are cloud based versions of VS Code you can use So nothing works offline.
- jeroenhd 3y ago> Yeah, sadly there are entry level laptops cheaper than a phone or said monitor plus a keyboard and mouse Many people already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard lying around. They'll also have a phone already. Plus, there are very cheap docks where you can just slide your phone into a laptop shell, priced similarly to the worst and most awful Chromebooks imaginable. > So nothing works offline. You can run a vscode server on your phone (https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases). What's lacking is the VSCode GUI, so pointing a browser at http://[::1]:8080/ http://[::1]:8080/ will work just fine.
