      More seriously, why not run a real OS on it. Windows/Linux?

      Android no longer shows a real advantage these days. Laptops now run all day with real use, touch screens are available, etc.

        What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can’t on android?

        And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it’s not even a competition.

        At that price even ChromeOS would be a better option. You still have all your android apps, plus that little Linux container for most lf your other computing needs.

        Afaik windows on arm is still very limited, a lot programs still only support x86.

        And touch ux on linux is not very convenient, I have a touch laptop and have used it with gnome for years, and it has a lot rough edges. Can a linux enthusiast use it? Sure. Would I recommend it to non computer savvy user? No, they won’t enjoy it.

        I tried xfce about a year ago on an old intel atom x86 tablet, it was not usable at all. I read Gnome is the most advanced in touch support, I don’t know how touch friendly is kde nowadays.

        So on windows a user would be limited to basic apps, android has much more options.

          Through their emulation layer you can run basically all modern software runs on it, and even most older games (albeit kinda poorly sometimes). The emulation layer lacks a fun CPU instructions that games or maybe cad software might use. But it’s genuinely pretty good if you’re running it on good hardware. At work we’re primarily a windows shop but the boss man likes Macs so everyone runs windows in a VM and they can do everything they need.

          I thought Gnome was the way to go on touchscreens but someone was saying Plasma was the way to go now. I haven’t tried either in a while because both were pretty subpar.

            New video was posted today about the current state of touch on kde and gnome: https://lemmy.wtf/post/16791767

            It seems like kde is in a bit better shape nowadays, but both still far from the usability of Android.

            @Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe: Take look, Unfortunately touch Linux is not in a state a big manufacturer like Lenovo could put it on a mainstream device.
