What? It works on everything I try it on. Perfectly. The only stuff that doesn't work perfectly are peripherals, but that same lack of support would be true in Android. Or do you mean native applications? Because even though that's true, you can run more on Linux if you include Wine/Proton and stuff like Waydroid.
Sounds like you understand.
Almost never works outside of games.
Runs like Android 11 or some shit, so most apps don't work on there either.
My point is that Android is worse in terms of peripherals. And you're comparing Android with Linux which has better support.
Native applications are a decent point, but only if you keep it mobile instead of desktop usage.
A lot of Windows software works.
No idea. My point here is that Linux has more support because you can run more stuff on it because of easier emulation, compared to Android which is more limited and almost exclusively only supports Android apps.
But hey. I'm glad you enjoy Graphene in desktop mode. Just don't claim something that isn't true.
That hasn't been my experience but I don't have any objective data to back it up.
My point is that it doesn't. And it doesn't sound like you've even tried it.
Doesn't exist yet. But we'll find out soon.
I've done no such thing. The fact that you can theroetically do things is not the same as reality.
Oh okay, well if it works for you, I must be wrong.
I asked you to defend your claim.
Yes you may.
