Keyboard and mouse input for the phone is a gamechanger for me. Having a manipulatable window that I can drag and drop files to is super nice as well.

Also since Slay the Spire doesn’t have cross-saving and all my progress is on my phone I can play it without staring at my phone.

I agree with you in spirit but would also like to shill for scrcpy in general if you aren’t already using it. Mirroring phone screen to my laptop is fucking amazing.

Honestly I even get rid of the taskbar too. I’ll float the system tray at approximately the same place but either let it hide behind everything or fill the space above it with a specific window (mirrored phone screen) with fixed size. Now that I’m typing it out though, I’m going to investigate auto-hiding it until a keybind reveals it in front of all windows.

I switch programs exclusively with alt+tab regardless and KDE’s launcher fulfills the super-menu functionality. I want a fresh session login to open to just my wallpaper. No icons, no task bar, no tray, nothing. An anti-rizz if you will.

I like the aesthetic and see it as a (tongue-in-cheek) method of security by obfuscation. I pair that with completely blank keycaps on my keyboard and suddenly 99% of the population doesn’t know how to interact with my machine.
