Samsung DeX, if you have heard of it, allows the users to turn their Galaxy phones into desktop PCs simply by connecting a monitor and other peripherals. The company made DeX more welcoming and useful for Galaxy flagship users by partnering with Canonical earlier last year. It made it possible for users to run a full Linux desktop instance on its DeX-supported flagship phones.
Thank you for supporting Linux on DeX Beta. The development of Linux on DeX was all thanks to customer interest and valuable feedback. Unfortunately, we are announcing the end of our beta program, and will no longer provide support on future OS and device releases.
It’s disappointing to see the Linux on DeX project being discontinued only within a year, however, the company hadn’t actively been working on improving the feature. The beta testers could only download a three-year-old version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 16.04) and any new features were out of the question.
