I ran desktop Chromium, GIMP, and LibreOffice on my Pixel using Android's Linux Terminal.

With the Terminal, Google wants to let developers build Android apps directly on Android devices and eventually let users run full-fledged graphical Linux apps and games.

๐Ÿ”— Google's Linux Terminal plays a big part in turning Android into a true desktop OS

๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ–ฅ The new Samsung DeX in One UI 8 was thought to be missing a full screen mode...

Weird, right? It turns out it DOES support full screen mode, but enabling it is not intuitive.

๐Ÿ”— Samsung DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden 'Immersive' mode for true full screen. Here's how to enable it.

๐Ÿ“บ YouTubeโ€™s best Premium feature is finally coming to the big screen

YouTube is finally rolling out its AI-powered โ€˜Jump Aheadโ€™ feature to TVs, a year after mobile and the web, but only for Premium subscribers.

Let me know if you have it!

Samsung currently doesn't let you use the DeX touchpad on the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 ...

So a developer made an app just for that. It's called DeX Touchpad and works as expected, but it requires a few steps to set up (uses shell privileges to inject inputs on other displays & needs to be added to the cover screen via Multistar).

The app isn't publicly available and was just a simple weekend project from the dev. I hope Samsung just allows the touchpad to be accessed from the cover screen in a future update - seems like a no brainer feature!
