Can we bring back PalmTops ?

PureOS on Purism Librem 5 let you plug-in phone to display and wa-la... actual desktop experience from just phone.

Ability to recognize non-ASCII characters in the dialer? Nope... Ability to skip auto connect to the Bluetooth device? Nope, never again... Record phone calls? No, fuck you, we don't like it in US so it is banned to the whole world. Here you are a feature nobody asks for and shut up...

The auto connect for bluethooth is really infuriating. Windows and android both don't have options for disabling auto connect.

On linux you can only select between trust and no tust which effectively means auto connect. BUT WHY DONT THEY JUST CALL IT AUTO CONNECT.

It's a real bummer.

This paired with virtualization features (hopefully with working sommelier) potentially enable running desktop wayland apps on phone.

To run waydroid on it

Dex was kind of nifty if you had a monitor laying around. I'm guessing this is the non-Samsung version feature.

or they we're forced to give

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if this starts a trend of ultra-cheap "laptops" that are just hardware extensions for phones with no processing capabilities of their own.

"Lapdock" seems to be the popular term. They've been around more than 10 years but never gone mainstream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapdock

Really fricking cool!

Thank you for sharing this.
