@eldavi The PinePhone is quite under powered, for a modern smartphone or compared to a laptop from the same era. However, if it about on par with a Raspberry Pi 4 in terms of what it can accomplish. It's not a powerhouse, but it can do a lot of low-level tasks.

  1. I am using the Phosh edition of postmarketOS. It was as easy as plugging in the HDMI cable and the desktop appeared on my screen.

  2. Perhaps. I am using the original PinePhone.

  3. Probably luck. With Phosh on pmos there aren't any technical steps.

@Albirew @postmarketOS @pine64 Using the USB-C dock. It has not worked with any other OS on the PinePhone. This is the first time it has worked since I got the phone a few years ago. Was pleasantly surprised it functioned flawlessly.

 

My PinePhone running postmarketOS is now hooked up to a hub and my TV with a mouse for input. Impressed this modest device can run multiple screens and apps. @pine64 @postmarketOS
