    The term “desktop” has more than one meaning and in the context of which operating systems are used on desktops, it certainly includes laptops. 😉

      Samsung DeX = desktop Linux. You heard it here first, folks.

        Yes, you are quite right: I heard about the existence of “Samsung DeX” here first. It’s such an obscure thing that I (a Samsung smartphone user for more than half a decade) hadn’t heard of it before. I had certainly heard of Chrome OS before even though I’ve never used it.

          DeX is more often used on Samsung tablets with attached keyboard. I didn’t check but I assume it’s being merged with Android’s upstream desktop mode.
