I heard they are adding a desktop mode to android 16, curious if it would be possible to use phone and have a similar experience to an actual PC by connecting monitor and mouse/keyboard, well just using a browser, at the very least.

EDIT: found it

Future updates will also bring even more productivity enhancements to Android, allowing you to connect tablets and phones to an external display for an expanded desktop experience

MicroG?

I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing

Time to invent one xD

All power is steam power, fossil fuels are burned to boil water. Heck nuclear reactors are also just boiling water to create steam.

It’s all Steampunk but we grew out of our punk phase :P

Saying EU AI Act felt like I was saying my vowels, just needs O and sometimes Y somewhere in there

My understanding of the different operating systems

MacOS: One time hardware payment for their service (plus for every other device)

Linux: Free as in price free and freedom

Windows: 30+ subscriptions to edit 1 file, then cooldown till next day or upgrade subscriptions to enterpise version for a kidney/per user/per month.

The year of the Linux Desktop is coming!!!
