    I’ve seen this option before but most people online say the Pixels only work with DisplayLink. I’m really tempted to order a cable and see if it works

      Yeah, for sure. The primary issues that Pixel phones do not have DisplayPort out over USB-C enabled. Well, I think the newest ones do.

      You also have the option of using scrcpy for testing this. But it’s a bit of hassle.

      The Pixel 8 and onwards technically support DP alt mode again. I’m not sure about stock, but I believe I read about some people having it just work in Graphene OS.
