I have had this unpopular opinion since the beginning of the decade: Linux should just adopt AOSP UI, be able to run apps, and that’s it.

The android interface would be hot garbage on desktops/laptops.

Not everyone uses a 12in netbook with only a browser window open.

The fact that Android is successful does not actually make it good and most of the apps are worthless on a large screen whereas there are lots of actual apps for Linux of note.

Who is "Linux" ? Who exactly do you think should adopt AOSP UI?
