From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m still a proponent of phone as workstation. They’re fast enough. I’ll still run a server at home but being able to plug a cable into my phone and it turns into a work station is still a dream of mine.
Is it a dream because you think it's not possible? If so, I have good news for you:
Then do. DeX exists on Samsung phones and tablets since years.
Seems like it is not available for newer versions.
DeX itself is just built into Samsung phones. DeX Max is a 3rd party app that merely forces some apps into fullscreen that would otherwise stay in the phone screen's aspect ratio. I used it for Netflix which did not work in fullscreen under DeX at some point but I cancelled my Netflix, so I don't care much anyway.
Oh, OK. Thanks!
