I wrote a blog post about my experiences on daily driving Plasma Mobile

Nice writeup, but it would’ve been nice if you added some screenshots or a short video of your setup!
I’m not sure what there is to screenshot, it’s all pretty stock tbh. I didn’t customize anything besides installing apps 😅
Well I haven’t used Plasma Mobile or any of the apps you’ve mentioned, so it’d be nice to see what it all looks like! (and I don’t have a device I can try it on either, unless I can get it working with Termux + Termux-X11?)
Same
I think just checking the website is a better resource than the screenshots I could make.

And no you can not get this working with Termux. This requires a proper Linux system and only supports Wayland.
did you try it with an external monitor? I guess keyboard and mouse shouldn’t be a problem
Not on this device but I have on a PinePhone before, works just fine. Ideally it would use the desktop shell on the external monitor though, that sadly doesn’t happen yet (but is planned for the future).
thanks. I’m trying to find a cheap 2nd hand device that can run pmOS and has 8 GB RAM and supports USB to DP/HDMI, was hoping this one was on the list.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I just haven’t tried it yet. I don’t actually know if it has the hardware for it.

I got a refurbished Pixel off Amazon for roughly $100.
