Community Idea: Desktop Mode via USB-C Video Out

What if your Jolla phone could transform into a full Linux desktop? By leveraging Phosh, KDE Plasma, or GNOME, we could make this a reality—no need to reinvent the wheel.

Introducing the Jolla Sailors initiative:

A community-driven program where contributors help fund and guide development. Think of it as a crew of supporters: developers, testers, and enthusiasts: working together to bring Desktop Mode of other new future OS updates to life.
