(INCOMPLETE -- NOT FOUND A GOOD DESKTOP MODE PROCESS)
My Pixel phone does not support USB video output. Which means I can't connect my phone to my display via USB-to-HDMI (or any other) cable and expect it to work. Scrcpy supports Virtual Display and wireless connection now. Which means I can view my android in 1920x1080 on my monitor in desktop mode. And if installed Termux https://termux.dev/en/ I can use it like a Linux system that I always have in my pocket.
- Download scrcpy https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy and extract
- Open a terminal/cmd in scrcpy folder
- Establish a connection between your computer and android phone
