Running the latest Android 16 based GrapheneOS on Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Upgrade went smoothly. So far it seems a bit slower, but a bit nicer.

What features should I look for that would make my life better?

I've tried the desktop mode, which is a very cool feature, basically if you have monitor, mouse and keyboard, you can connect your phone and have a laptop / desktop like experience. Since these phones are getting quite powerful, it can be quite a good option. It should have window management and everything on a pretty secure OS.

I wasn't able to make it work. Out of box it just mirrors screen like with the old version. Even I turn on enable freeform windows on secondary screen, the prompt to mirror displays appears but it does nothing, even the mirroring does not work, although the monitor thinks it's connected and USB keyboard works. Has anyone successfully tried this on GrapheneOS?

What else is new and cool?
