I am thinking about using my GrapheneOS Pixel6a as a desktop. Not really tbh, but in emergencies and if Collabora Office etc work well, why not?
I would like to experiment.
What I need:
- USB-A mouse
- USB-A keyboard
- USB-A thumbdrive (at least one)
- HDMI/DP monitor port (I use VGA but with an HDMI adapter)
- maybe AUX
So nothing fancy, but it should not cost damn 100€ or be cheap chinesium.
I am from the EU, which is really important too, so no Walmart or Target or whatever (the electronic shops we have are horrible).
Thanks!
It seems like a “USB hub” is what I am looking for. Matching manifacturers:
- Anker
- …

I don’t think you want a full dock, just a USB hub like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Upgraded-Delivery-Pixelbook-A83460A2/dp/B07ZVKTP53
Interesting, yes thats pretty cheap and fits! Didnt know that there is a difference, probably “business” or “consumer” marketing
I believe it’s all Pixels, but definitely the Pixel 6 family do not support DP alt mode (DisplayPort over USB-C).
If you want a Dock with video output, you have to get one that is DisplayLink compatible and I believe also install the DisplayLink app.
Thanks, remembered that too. Displaylink sucks, so I guess no.
