<![CDATA[External monitor over type-C]]>Hey I really love UT so far. I am on a Pixel 3a and notoced I can't connect it to a monitor with my USB to HDMI cable. I think its kinda a missed opportunity because with somethng like an x86 emulator, Ubuntu Touch could be a really big competitor to mini PCs and ARM SoC devices like the Pi 4.

I'm sure it will get there but it's not working right now. Still, it will be the only way to support external monitors.

Also, it won't be a good experience if you want to use it like a desktop since input lag is very noticeable. This is true to wireless display even on other devices and OS.

So you won't be able to get video over USB with it.

UT already supports it if the hardware and drivers support it.
