I heard a rumour that Samsung was drifting towards a Google version, sadly, it is true.

ZFOLD6 wired DeX - was perfect bliss, with a few Goodlock tweaks

ZFOLD7 wired DeX - is a horrible, rejig, that's just too fussy.

Samsung, why do you have to jump in bed with Google for everything, you do it better alone.

You just ruined my favourite Samsung feature.

Fair enough, I'm not too bothered with cosmetic changes as long as I can open the 3 application windows I work with custom tiled I'm happy.

Does it waste more screen real estate or something?

I'd probably like it. I'm a XFCE user mostly when I'm not on Win11. All function limited pezaz.

Ok screenshot of the DeX mode, false alarm about big changes, the on screen purely moves to a Windows 11 style centre  bar for the app and then it all pops up from there
