If you do like the nix ecosystem (and all its benefits like reproducible envs) or just want to give it a try to a "NixOS" like thingy, you should absolutely try https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid. It's somewhat rough, but it's very nice and has nix flakes and home-manager support.

20 Years of Nix
I doubt your setup needed recompiling the Nix binary itself at any point. Even I did that more out of love of adventure than for any practical reasons, it’s just that the scars are still there.
And you know what, the evaluation time thing might just be a bug. Or at least I don’t see any other reason why (e.g.) `nix-shell -p yt-dlp` in my Nix-on-Droid[1] installation works reasonably fast but `nix shell nixpkgs#yt-dlp` takes minutes.

"Homescreen" launchers for external desktops
Or does Android maybe already work this way? I am not aware of any desktop-mode launchers. I am aware of Taskbar, but as far as I recall, it does not provide everything that a desktop environment does. I could be wrong though.

Alternatives to Android Auto
I was using LineageOS for a long time with core google services + android auto. I have a Toyota Yaris (2022) and I was getting used to Android Auto, especially for Maps. Now I 'm going for grapheneOS and pixel phones and I 'm in the transition of moving away for anything google. What I 'll miss the most is Android Auto on my car's dashboard and the safety it provides in terms of design (big buttons etc). I tried to use Miracast but it's not available when the car is moving. I found this app called (Taskbar)[https://github.com/farmerbb/Taskbar] which imo is the best replacement for android auto. You can pin your apps you want and they are always visible to switch them. Is there anyway that can improve my situation? Taskbar is good, but is out there anything better?

Is it possible to output a custom video signal with phones that have DisplayPort Alt Mode?
For that, the device that you would be developing for needs Android 10+ and you would be making a launcher. Check out Taskbar, libtaskbar and the xda developers article mentioning it.

The Taskbar app keeps crashing on my device.
However, you can still install the regular version of Taskbar alongside the bundled Android-x86 version, and just use that version instead. You can either install it from the Play Store or grab the apk from here. It should behave mostly the same as the bundled version, just without the option to only display currently running apps (since that requires a permission that only system apps can use). So I'd say give that version a try and see if that fixes your crashing issue, if it doesn't, let me know.

How to create an external display launcher like samsung dex from scratch?
Check out Taskbar on Github here to get started. That's all I can suggest, other than to say Android 9 is pretty old with respect to external display features.
