Hardware: compact affordable USB-C dock

Pantherina@feddit.de to Android@lemmy.world – 14 points –

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 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.
