The option is there on my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, but I have no idea if it will actually work, as I've never had a need to use it. But at least we know the option seems to be available.

I never would have known this existed if not for you

We're all (mostly) here to help each other. I'm just giving back a minimal fraction of what I get here.

Oh that's awesome I'll have to ask around or search if it's possible. I use desktop mode daily on my Samsung to VPN into a vm I have at home so I can mess around with pictures or things during lunch

I'll try this weekend, if only just to know if it works.

I had no clue this was a thing! I thought Samsung Dex was some exclusive feature. Feels like this would be great for public computing spaces where they provide a hub, keyboard, mouse, and monitor and you just bring your phone with ya and connect over data
