not even apple uses them. I'd like to sometimes point and click on my linux machine. With my finger. What's wrong with that, it seems to work well on all the smartphones out there.

It works fine too, I can work in a lot more spaces without a mouse (like just a tiny lap desk). I can and do code outdoors a lot because of the smart screen brightness adjustment android has.

Android tablet, current one is a xiaomi pad 5. Portable bluetooth keyboard. Strong phone / tablet stand from amazon.

Since I code remote, all I need to do that is termux, and occasionally bvnc for android dev, since they force you to use android studio ide. I have the vim plugin there tho, so a mouse isn't necessary.

OK, so you basically use the keyboard to type code, not via touchscreen? Am I correct?

[โ€“] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I have a bluetooth keyboard.
