    Don’t think we are getting an official desktop mode any time soon, ChromeOS is Google’s laptop/desktop operating system.

    ChromeOS ran Android apps relatively well when I last tried this a few years ago. Most apps were clearly not designed for desktop UI/UX. Many didn’t work all that well as tablet apps either.

      Android 15 has a desktop mode that can run on tablets without a monitor.

      I hope that Google releases more tablets and give landscape orientated designs a little more love, something that is currently falling behind by many many apps (many don’t have that options at all). That could really make a difference once they DO decide to implement desktop mode.

      Maybe they could experiment with some forced landscape mode or something? (If that does already exist, let me know because Nothingphone has removed homescreen rotation for no reason).

      I would like to see that coming more to smartphones anyway. Phones are so big these days, landscape mode gets really comfortable because of it IMO.
