I have a beta edition pinephone, using Manjaro Plasma. I am experimenting with a Nexdock, and getting poor results.
When I turned on the phone and plugged it in, they did connect, and the display was sort of shown on the Nexdock. I got strange effects, though: sometimes the two displays seem to overlap, sometimes the phone display was shown at phone size in the upper left corner of the Nexdock, occasionally other strange stuff.
I went into the settings and messed with them a bit. It showed the Nexdock display, and showed the phone (called it laptop, but the sizes made it obvious which was which). After a bit the phone display went black, and the Nexdock display began to blink furiously if I moved the mouse pointer. The earlier strangeness was intermittent, and now this is continuous. The only way I can get out of the jam is to unplug and reboot the phone. If I plug it back in and turn on the Nexdock, I'm back to black screen on the phone and blinky on the Nexdock.
If anyone has made this combo work, I'd appreciate some pointers.
