The desktop OS are all pretty bad so I wouldn't want to use that as an inspiration for anything.

I'm very happy with my Linux desktop.

I mostly live in the Plasma desktop, Konsole and Firefox. And life is good.

What are you missing?

I mean, define bad.

Certainly they're much more complex. More susceptible to malware, too.

But they're also much more powerful. I can get tasks done 10x as fast. They're much more open, too. They have well-defined interfaces for most things, which means I can automate tasks. Can't do that on a phone.

Bad in what way? Most people who aren’t power users barely leave the browser.
