My phone is my sole PC and has been for about 7 months now. I use it for everything. I'm using nreal AR glasses for a massive virtual 80" screen via Dex. I use a Bluetooth mouse and mechanical keyboard. I use libre office for real work, I do development work right on the phone. I also use andronix on the phone for when I need a more full blown Linux desktop for gimp, IDEs, GIS, etc.

If this is really coming to AOSP, it will be huge.

Very interesting, which phone do you have?

I'm just using a Samsung S20+. You need a Samsung if you want Dex.

Or you can use Motorola's Ready For with any Motorola Edge phones.
