      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”.

        I use a desktop all day, every day (Arch, btw) because I work a tech job.

        Android is based on Linux, true but it is hardly a desktop environment (and is mostly controlled by the carrier/Google from a privacy/enshittification perspective).

        I think the Steamdeck is a better example. It’s converting console gamers into Linux desktop users and showing people that Linux gaming is very much possible.
