There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Well if you have various phone models that support display over the USB port, then you can plug the phone into a PC dock and you will get the screens, keyboard and mouse working. If you need a Linux terminal you can setup Termux.
Samsung's flagship have DEX mode when you dock and you get a full Desktop experience, many versions back it was a Linux environment... Now its a more closed android desktop, but still great for travelling light and connecting for work stuff when at hotel or office has workspaces.
I know ๐ but my Xiaomi doesn't really do that out of the box...
Next phone will though, or I'll stay on an old one til there is one (fairphone or other with graphene os I guess).
