Several months ago we got a “sneak peek” at Android desktop mode. Since then it’s been completely silent. I am on a Pixel 7 which doesn’t have DP Alt mode. But I anxiously await the day I can use a single device for all my computing needs (other than my server).
Is anyone using this or has used it recently, in the last month or so? What are your impressions?
I tried desktop mode once back in September on my pixel 8 running GrapheneOS, there has been a large update (Android 16 QRP1) on graphene a week ago so it might have improved, but back then it was still pretty bad, been 2 months plus graphene isn’t 1:1 with official Google releases for pixel so I is might be much better now.
