Android 16 is adding "Desktop Mode" to do exactly this, I bet in a few Android releases this will be good enough for most "desktop usecases". They'll have a "Linux" app that gives you a VM exactly like WSL2 on Windows or Crostini on ChromeOS.

If we allow ourselves to dream it's not impossible we'll be able to run Windows games on Android in some future :)

First Android would have to be free software and not project controlled by Google. We need independent mobile phone operating system.

		Sure, but that's moving the goalpost from the comment I was replying to. And generally people are fine with using proprietary systems. MacOS, iOS, Windows and Android are all popular compared to "Linux desktop". I would appreciate a desktop mode for my phone even if it isn't 100% FOSS.
