To be fair a phone that can be docked and used as any number of other workstations should really be the goal. One device that can do everything is the dream… Running Linux also a requirement.
I did Samsung dex for a while, its ok as long as you don’t want low level access to what you connecting to.
Now I switched to a gpd micropc 2 and its built in ethernet, sd card, usb a and c sockets and native linux make it so much more useful. No longer do i need dongles or other rubbish.
Plus it will do multiple monitor support, something dex struggles with. The keyboard is a little small for touch typing but the former factor is worth the trade of for me.
You’re describing Ubuntu’s Convergence, something Canonical was working on back in like 2011 I think.
Sucks nothing really came of it. By 2014 there were a few functional demos of it but you don’t really see it nowadays.
With the many attempts in Android to implement this it’s a little shocking that there hasn’t been more work in the open source space, but I guess Ubuntu mobile and Firefox OS couldn’t even make a deny and cost so much to develop
The ER staff don’t like it when people dock phones with their butt.
The dream is playing music on the strings of reality.
A phone is just a pitstop.
Yes! Need a proper Linux phone at long last!
That was what the early Windows phones where doing. But the technology was still a bit clunky at the time.
We made some progress for a bit when we had the Samsung Dex that could run Ubuntu. The closest thing I have now is the steam deck but it’s easier to just have a laptop that plugs in

To be fair, what most buttplugs lack is internet connectivity and support for basic office software.

I actually own a sex toy that, in order to use certain features, I need to connect to my phone via bluetooth and log in to their server on their app with a username and password. Careful what you wish for.

Shit. Get Lovense or something instead. Still has Bluetooth connectivity but there are so many open source clients to make use of.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Why wouldn’t the buttplug have internet connectivity? Kids, remember to update your sex toys with the latest security patches!
