Switching to PinePhone for a noob
It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead.

>> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered?
Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past.

Personally, I would like to see more "convergence" devices that let the little computer I carry around with me be anything I want it to be: a programmable general purpose computer, a streaming media server, or whatever else I want.
There are some projects that offer such functionality, but most require expert knowledge to setup or are not very widely-adopted or not very mature:

Are any Android ROMs focused on Android's desktop mode?
I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future.

Use phone as desktop computer when linked to a monitor
So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think.
