    Just about the only thing keeping the desktop form factor alive is videogames

      This is a really ignorant viewpoint. There’s a wide array of software that professionals use every day that’s desktop only.

        Desktop form factor, not desktop operating systems. There is zero software I’m aware of that runs on desktops only and not laptops, AIOs, and NUCs.

          If the comment really does refer to “form factor” and not “OS”, then the comment is irrelevant.

          You can also run Android on a desktop form factor, the app would be then technically able to run on “desktop”. The OP’s post clearly refers to the OS, it does not matter what the form factor is, you can even run Linux on the phone (eg. PureOS).
