Not super well supported, but there's a Samsung Dex app for Windows and MacOS (I think unsupported now) that let's you plug your phone into your computer, and get Dex in a window. Runs the phone apps on the phone, gets your android store etc. but you get an "ok" minimal desktop that lets you do your phone stuff with a mouse and keyboard.
After I figured that out I basically dropped all the run Android on a desktop things.

- Dalewyn 3y agoUnfortunately a non-starter since it requires USB Debugging Mode, which these days most programs if they see it will refuse to run.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI have never in my life seen an app that cared about adb being enabled. I'm willing to believe that you've encountered them, but I'm gonna question "most programs".
