I actually gave this a try today. My wife has a USB-C port replicator she uses for her computer, and I just unplugged her laptop from it and plugged in my phone. That easy.
It was surprisingly usable. I didn't get too far into the nitty-gritty, but #Vivaldi opened up in what looked like a Desktop mode. The app drawer worked, and I fired up Google Docs no problem to type on a bigger screen.
I only took 5 minutes, but those 5 minutes implied this could replace ChromeOS.

@mike . I’ve been waiting for this for years. Just need a Linux phone that can do this!

@mike . I got a demo around 2001 from Sun Microsystems of a key card that you could take from thin workstation to thin workstation and it would just log you back in to what you were doing. That was my dream for a while, but as I became more sensitive to cloud services & privacy issues (and realized every computer would need to support this), I’d rather just have the phone on me be that portable workstation. Can’t wait.
