Any plans by GrapheneOS team to introduce desktop mode in pixel 8?

Pixel 8 hardware supports desktop mode and according to the previous post on this forum about this topic, the desktop mode has been disabled via software in the stock pixel 8.

Only thing stopping me from making Graphene OS device a 'one-device-for-all' is that it doesn't have a desktop mode... Frankly, I am kind of tired of having to jiggle multiple devices for doing same tasks when I want to change my stance (All we really need now a days for basic tasks is a a device and a monitor that supports charging and display through the same cable...)

Graphene OS device with desktop mode will fix everything.

difficult-to-eat-pineapple the user OutlawSanZhang wrote an excellent guide here a few weeks back. According to this you can have the desktop mode you want, with floating windows and all. It does come with a lot of bugs because it's not ready yet (which is why it's only available via dev options which is not recommended to turn on for everyday usage). If you want a smooth experience, unfortunately all you can do is wait for Google to fully release this. By that time you might get much better deals on the Pixel 8, or buy the Pixel 8a or 9 instead.

If you mean displayport output, I believe that its already been enabled on pixel 8 for grapheneos. There's a million usb-c hubs that have display outputs and support charging.

bookreader umm how does it work with scaling and everything? my post was more about integration of desktop-like features like Dex(i will never use a Samsung device due to double-tracking by Samsung, Google)... integration like being able to pick up the tabs i have open in Vanadium on display monitor using Thinkpad Wireless Keyboard... seems like an excellent workflow
ps: im still new on this OS. im using Pixel 6a and it is fantastic. Pixel 8 with desktop mode would be a killer device
