I used Dex for a while as a software developer, it works surprisingly well for most office tasks and at the company I was working at at the time we did most of our work in cloud VMs anyway
With everything moving to the cloud it’s going to become more and more attractive to just have a tablet (with a keyboard case) instead of a laptop/pc and just dock it when you need peripherals I think
That said that’s good for those of us wanting to use Linux as our desktops because we’ll be on basically the same playing field as all the windows users if they go entirely cloud based.
No longer any need to use onlyoffice/libreoffice (I like them but my manager seems to think they aren’t fully compatible with office files that we get from clients )
Sorry but Android != Desktop. It’s literally in the name. No one is running Android as their desktop OS, except for the 7 Dex users on the planet.

The article is dumb. It states:
Linux != Linux desktop, and that’s the point of the article, but in their premise they’re equating them.
Hey I dex from time to time. However, the shortcut keys, or lack of, are the big issue for me.
Not only it’s not Desktop, the Linux kernel is buried under such an alien user space that it’s has nothing to do with a Linux Desktop.
