I think a phone might light on fire if you try to use it like a Linux desktop

It just makes sense to me to make android phones the all in 1, now your phone is actually also your computer, much better than trying to sell chromebooks and make that work
Im forsure delusional with schools tho theyll prob sell them chromebooks forever
This is already a thing
Samsung DeX was the first big one but there are a bunch of competing ones that do similar things now.
its just android reskinned sadly, not actually using linux desktop, sure its decent for multitasking but its just android apps reframed still
Can’t you just use GNURoot Debian and XServer SDL to get a Linux desktop env on any Android phone?
There’s an xda-developers guide on this and the two apps are still in the Google Play Store, so I assume it’s still feasible.
I’m not sure how well it plays with DeX and other similar solutions, though.
That’s assuming the apps aren’t capable enough to handle being used on a desktop on their own, of course. What sorts of gaps did you see, and in which sorts of apps?
It makes no sense to think about the future of technology while ignoring one of the biggest technological developments to date. Whatever you think of AI, it's necessarily going to shape every aspect of technological development going forward.
One example I can give you off top of my head is that traditional user interfaces will likely be going away. There's no need to have a complex UI the user has to learn to navigate when you can just use language to describe what you want. You will just ask the agent to find whatever information you need, and present it in a specific way to you. Think of it as having a personal secretary who compiles information for you, and makes presentations.
