I think Fairphone 6 does not have DP-Alt and only USB 2 data transfer, so there is no way to drive a hi-res screen. Google Pixel is supposed to ship a more complete desktop in Android 16 QPR1. Also has a Linux VM. Of course, Samsung has had a pretty complete desktop on phones that support DeX for a while now.

FP 5 has DP-Alt, are you sure the 6 doesn't? edit: You're right, an unfortunate downgrade https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp6-discussion-about-usb-2-and-missing-desktop-mode/119714/164 https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp6-discussion-about-usb-2-and...

> Google Pixel is supposed to ship a more complete desktop in Android 16 QPR1. Also has a Linux VM. I'm actually really excited for this and am watching it closely, although I believe right now it's limited to Debian? It might be the thing that finally tempts me out of iOS & the whole Apple ecosystem. I want the one device dream, but I want to be able to run my own OS on it, even if it's in a VM for desktop mode, so I can bring my arch+hyprland setup with me. It can run Android in "phone" mode that's fine, then when I hook it up to my dock or a kb+mouse it'll launch arch. I won't go all in on it though until it looks like Google is committed for the long haul. I don't want to switch "ecosystems" and rely on it only for them to kill it by Android 18 or whatever.
