This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

And are there apps for normal desktop office work?

I'm surely not gonna use Google docs or Microsoft's cloud clobber.

Any apps that are available on Android can be used with desktop mode, including Collabora and OnlyOffice. I assume there will be variable levels of optimization though since this is still so new.

Edit: Forgot to mention that you should also be able to run linux apps https://www.androidauthority.com/run-desktop-linux-apps-on-android-how-to-3586539/

It didn't already do this? Why did I have phones and tablets that could do this already?
