My PinePhone running postmarketOS is now hooked up to a hub and my TV with a mouse for input. Impressed this modest device can run multiple screens and apps. @pine64 @postmarketOS
i used to do something like with with my old androids and glad to learn that pine can do this too; reading through social media gave me the impression that it was seriously underpowered.
@eldavi The PinePhone is quite under powered, for a modern smartphone or compared to a laptop from the same era. However, if it about on par with a Raspberry Pi 4 in terms of what it can accomplish. It’s not a powerhouse, but it can do a lot of low-level tasks.
@distrowatch@mastodon.social @pine64@lemmy.ml @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems did you connected to the tv using the USB-C docking bar from the convergence package or a classic USB-C->HDMI ?
(asking because HDMI from docking bar does not work in my case… having the pinephone beta edition may be related)
@Albirew @postmarketOS @pine64 Using the USB-C dock. It has not worked with any other OS on the PinePhone. This is the first time it has worked since I got the phone a few years ago. Was pleasantly surprised it functioned flawlessly.

Thanks for the feedback. 👍
Then, my issue may be either:- the Gnome-mobile edition of PMOS (if different from what you installed)
- the beta edition of my Pinephone
- my lack of skill and luck

I am using the Phosh edition of postmarketOS. It was as easy as plugging in the HDMI cable and the desktop appeared on my screen.
-
Perhaps. I am using the original PinePhone.
-
Probably luck. With Phosh on pmos there aren’t any technical steps.
