<![CDATA[NexDock 2 and Ubuntu Touch]]>I'm assuming some (or more) of you have seen the Kickstarter for NexDock 2. This looks very interesting: the build quality appears to be better than the original NexDock and it even supports the RaspberryPi.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the NexDock 2 would work with a device running Ubuntu Touch. I have a Nexus 5 running UT and this would be a good fit. And, yes, I've contacted the folks behind the NexDock but have yet to hear back from them.

Thanks!

If you have a compliant phone, does it mean you could achieve the same with any laptop that has a usb-c?

Nope.

Seriously, thanks for the information. Kind of sad, but I guess that gives me a good incentive to save my money and get a Librem 5 when they're available. By the time I have enough money, I'm sure version 2 (with any major bugs/issues squashed) will be out.

In terms of specifications, the new Pinephone could work perfectly with the NexDock2.

It will not work over the USB-C as the Pinephone as I understand will not have SlimPort (DisplayPort alt mode), but straight HDMI. You would need an adapter to split the video out to the HDMI port on the NexDock 2, and use the USB-C for the kb/touchpad and charging connection.

The second has USB-C though, maybe better to ask NexDock to make a new demo video 🙂
Peace,
