Hi, I was wondering, does /e/os, like Ubuntu Touch and Samsung Android, support usb-c from monitor directly into the phone, and then use it with desktop display, just like a laptop? :)

In a word: no.

(I've run /e/os on a FairPhone 3+ purchased directly from Murena and today on a FP5 that I installed via ADB)

It also depends. The new fairphone only has USB 2.0 so hardware wise also can't do USB display output IIRC.

Sadness

I fact-checked and it's true; what the hell are they smoking‽ o.O

I was planning on getting one some day as it ticks all the boxes but this is just.. embarrassing.

They try to be competitive on pricing while being more fair on the whole process chain. If they didn't cheap out on hardware by using recent SoC and latest and greatest component, the FP would be probably more than twice the price.

@sonalder @Atemu I understand ethics have a cost, but USB 3.0 is almost older than android, and is very valuable for modularity/future-proofness/upcylcing
