But we are talking about the average user. And the average user uses their smartphone as their main computer. What you as a single person isn't what the subject is. You've gone off topic.

The average person is most likely using their Android (Linux) device as their "desktop". The year of the Linux desktop has been a reality for years. They use it to call, make appointments, email, send and receive official documents, sign those documents (DocuSign), photo for business reasons and expenses, etc... I used to do inventory and order management on mine.

"Smartphones are the most widely used devices globally, with 5.3 billion users.... Laptops are used by 1.8 billion people... Desktops, with 1.2 billion users globally"

Android is based on Linux, true but it is hardly a desktop environment

Technology changes, and with it comes it's shape and form. Many would have told you that a GUI is hardly a desktop environment before. What makes it "hardly a desktop environment"? And don't say "I can't do my job" because again, we are talking about the average user, not you.

I've seen businesses run completely on Android. Most POS units are Android. They do sales, ordering (from supplies), employee payrolls, time sheets, a whole business.

What else would it need to do, that the average user would want/need, to make it more "official"? "carrier/Google from a privacy/enshittification perspective" Pretty much every OS is having this issue, and devices can be purchased without carrier controls (I bought mine like that.)

Canada is also wonderful.

Canadian Rockies: Canadian Rockies

Kelowna, BC is also great, in Canadian wine country: Kelowna, BC

Northern Ontario is great for camping and nature:

Unless you'd prefer the beach and ocean, then somewhere like Prince Edward Island (PEI) is great, lots of fresh seafood: PEI

Canada shouldn't be forgotten about because the USA is being, well, you know.

When was the last time you used a desktop?

For most people, their smartphone is their computer, and (globally) Android is the top used one. Android is a version of Linux, so every year for quite a while has been the Year of the Linux "desktop".
