You don't have to degrade the phone experience at all. Just add a Linux VM that it switches to when I plug it into a monitor and has access to my files and we're good.

To me, something along these lines is by far the best approach. Under Android, a Linux desktop could be virtualized on top of Android’s Linux kernel and under iOS, a macOS userland could be virtualized on top of iOS’ Darwin underpinnings.

It’s the only way you don’t end up compromising either half of the experience too much. Trying to converge both into a single UI as Microsoft previously did with Windows and GNOME is now trying to do now is a recipe for failure.

All the plumbing is all there[0].

Here's hoping they hook it up so we can use it.
