[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

I like Android. If linux would be like Android, it would take off and be probably a lot more advanced than it is now. It's currently built as a cell phone OS, because that's what it is.

But if someone made a desktop android, that worked on raspberry pi, and pc's, and could be self contained on a usb stick like you can with linux??? THAT distro might be the thing to beat Windows. Especially if it was free and open source.

Right now, on android, you can use terminal. Before I knew what terminal was, I downloaded it on an old rooted phone 10 years ago.

So YOU can do all the terminal stuff you want in this hypothetical desktop Android. But don't make ME do stuff that I don't understand.

Right now, standard linux is essentially a keyboard OS. Where the bulk of important functions come from the keyboard. Windows is a mouse OS where the bulk of important functions happen with a mouse.

And of the two styles, I prefer mouse. You prefer keyboard, but linux CAN do both......it just chooses not to.

Give me a distro where they don't even include terminal. You can download it if you want, but it's not standard.

So I don't see why you're saying Android is some kind of insult. I like Android.

I didn't say it as an insult, just pointing it out. Fwiw, I use Waydroid on my computer, and it's pretty okay. I don't think there's any desktop OS, Linux or otherwise, that doesn't ship with a terminal program, though.

E: added "desktop"
