"The year of the Linux desktop" already happened, but in the meantime desktop got so small that you can put it in your pocket. It never would have been happened without commercialization of the Linux desktop (Android), so your kit car analogy holds.

Good luck running desktop GNU/Linux stuff properly on Android/Linux.

The set of APIs exposed to the NDK is so constrained that Google can replace the Linux kernel with something else and only OEMs writing drivers will notice.

Funny you mention that. Fuchsia seems to be the replacement for Linux.

It's really not too bad with root. Although the permissions and selinux stuff will trip you up a lot.

Yes, but those aren't the devices normal users get on the store.

Yes they are. However the rooting process isn't something normal people do with their normal devices.
