Samsung Won't Support Linux on DeX Once Android 10 Arrives

'If you've been using Linux on DeX (aka Linux on Galaxy) to turn your
Samsung phone into a PC, you'll need to make a change of plans.
Samsung is warning users that it's shutting down the Linux on DeX beta
program, and that its Android 10 update won't support using the open
source OS as a desktop environment. The company didn't explain why it
was shutting things down, but it did note that the Android 10 beta is
already going without the Linux option...

Samsung is still committed to DeX, and recently enabled its
desktop-style space on Macs and Windows PCs. However, it's clear that
the dreams of fully replacing a PC with your Galaxy phone will have to
wait, at least for now.'
