I'm curious to see what the new desktop mode for Pixel phones is like. Although my Pixel 9a is nowhere near the calibre of a A18 or A19 SoC. https://www.androidauthority.com/desktop-mode-march-pixel-drop-3646069/
Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cable

Landing with the March Pixel Drop, your Google Pixel phone can now become a mini PC thanks to Android's Desktop Mode.

@decryption there is Termux, which goes a long way. Also a full Linux VM via the Terminal app. Apparently it supports graphical apps now too. https://www.androidauthority.com/linux-terminal-graphical-apps-3580905/
You can finally run Doom and other graphical apps in Android's Linux Terminal

Google has updated Android's Terminal app to let you run full graphical Linux programs. Here's why that's a big deal.
