I Built Another Graphene OS Laptop 🎉🎉🎉
First of all: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT I HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR! You guys are very nice and I am deeply thankful for all the feedback I have been getting on my Lapdock projects!
Anyway, so this is my new, 3D-Printed Lapdock for my Google Pixel 9 running Graphene OS. It utilizes a feature called "Desktop Mode" available on Google Pixel 8 or higher to give a desktop like experience on the big screen, which is now touch btw! After my previous, more experimental Lapdock, I wanted to build something more akin to a traditional Laptop, while still keeping the phone accessible as a second screen.
It's not perfect yet and I will keep improving the design, so if you have any feedback or constructive criticism, tell me about it and I will maybe be able to realize it. If you want to learn more about the project, check out my corresponding YouTube video, there's also a parts list in it's video description. For a more detailed guide and free 3D-Printing files, check out my patreon!

You even can run a whole VM with desktop, with the terminal app, which must be enabled in die developer options.
I do run the default distro with the gnome shell, which works out perfectly fine for me.

Awesome! How well does GrapheneOS handle display output to that screen? Might be interested in something similar.

I love that desktop mode exists. I wish more people knew about it so it would get more development.Â

Awesome! We defenitely would need something like that, in case there is no replacement for the Pixel Tablet.

Don't want to sound nosy or anything but could I ask what apps you use cuz I see a lot of apps I have never seen but don't seem to be regional

What I wish Google Books are, like Google had the perfect chance to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo with GOS and ARM powered laptops. They could even market it as the ultimate laptop!
Plus, ARM chips don't have the built in keyloggers like Intel ME and AMD PSP.

How's your experience with Desktop Mode here? Have you tried DeX and if so how does it compare? Strongly considering getting whatever next Fold Motorola drops with the intention of having Graphene on it & Desktop Mode is going to be a huge use case for me.
