When Samsung announced that it would make some changes to DeX as part of its One UI 7.0 rollout, I panicked momentarily. At first, I thought it meant Samsung was pulling a Google and sending DeX to the great tech graveyard in the sky, but I’m happy to report that’s not the case. Instead, Samsung is only ending support for its DeX for PC app, which… happens to be the only part of DeX that I regularly use.
Thankfully, that dreaded day hasn’t come yet, so I have time to look for alternatives. More specifically, I have time to check out the one that Samsung has adopted: Microsoft’s Link to Windows. On the surface, the pairing makes sense, as Samsung has worked closely with Microsoft in recent years, adding bits of Office and OneDrive to recent Galaxy launches, but I had to find out if Link to Windows would keep me in good hands.
