From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I haven't tried it myself, but I believe the OC is referring to the webcam USB mode that Pixels (idk if this is an Android feature or a "Pixel" feature) have. To enable it, connect over USB then you'll have a notification along the lines of "Charging this device over USB".
If you click that notification it'll let you enable Webcam over USB mode, which I assume just causes the phone to act as any other webcam device would.
I believe that is an Android 14 feature, not something exclusive to Pixel phones
Exactly, it works flawlessly and without any further setup on EndeavourOS for me. It's a Pixel feature afaik.
That's cool indeed, thanks.
