   I have to say I love how my #steamdeck is both a "play games in bed" and "work/talk in the office" machine.

     @derek Is this running Windows on an external monitor?

     @TuxOnBike @jsit Yes! I spun that up on my old Pixel 3! My phone couldn't run a desktop display, but the seeds of the experience are there.

     I think unport's Ubuntu Touch can do that with "convergence."

     @TuxOnBike @derek I remember when Ubuntu toyed with the idea of making a phone OS that you could plug into a monitor for a full mouse+keyboard desktop.

     @TuxOnBike @derek Oh haha wow, I knew it ran Linux, but I was never a KDE user. It really is trying to look just like Windows isn’t it. Thought this might have been some kind of dual-boot or VM situation.

     @jsit

     That is the Steam Deck's desktop mode, running Linux and KDE Plasma (a desktop environment that has some visual similarities to a Windows desktop).
