And the desktop will die as well. Even the fans of x86 say that it sucks but it still remains the main target for serious software.

Microsoft first needs to recapture their developers. They still have those that target their platform with Visual C++.

Desktop will never die.

The form factor might change. We might go from a large box to a docking station for a tablet or laptop, but the mouse + keyboard + monitor(s) is never going away.

Been thinking for a while - I need some serious BGA rework equipment and some training because I'd rather die in a ditch than not be able to replace any components in my computer :D

At that point, might as well start my dream recycling business where we desolder, test everything and sell them as parts. They do it in China at scale, why not Europe... Main question is, would there be enough buyers? Small repair shops are also dying...
