### TL;DR
Is there any way to force a Motorola phone to launch the desktop mode on the phone itself instead of relying on the Windows app?
### What Ready For is
Ready For is Motorola's desktop mode (Like Samsung's Dex). It's not a separate launcher and there are three ways of connecting to it normally:
- Directly connecting to a monitor through HDMI
- Connecting to a Windows PC through an App from Microsoft's app store
- Connecting through WiFi to a compatible monitor or TV.
### Why I need this
- My specific phone model (Edge 40) can't connect through HDMI (and I'm still mad about it).
- My personal computer is Linux and they don't offer a Linux app.
- My job computer is Windows, but Microsoft's app store is blocked in it.
### What I want to do instead
If I could somehow force desktop mode on the phone itself, I could then use scrcpy to share the screen both on Windows and Linux to work with it.
Thanks
### Edit
I was able to install Ready For on my job computer through
winget
. Unfortunately, it seems Motorola's screen casting solution is not well ironed out yet and it's extremely slow.
Good news though is that I was able to capture Ready For's desktop on scrcpy
as it is detected as a hidden second display.
This sort of resolves my ultimate objective (on Windows at least), but does not answer my question, so I'll keep it here instead of in a dedicate answer.
