What is "desktop" computers? In my vision, desktop computers are becoming "development" computers very fast. Day-to-day use with tablets and smartphones are already full of GNU/Linux. It's only a matter of time for it to take desktop too. But "hackers" from here have a little difficult to see it coming (and probably missed it happen in servers and mobile, and have NO IDEA how this impossible shit happened)

"Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel. People who erroneously think “Linux” refers to the entire GNU/Linux combination get tied in knots by these facts, and make paradoxical statements such as “Android contains Linux, but it isn't Linux.” Absent this confusion, the situation is simple: Android contains Linux, but not GNU; thus, Android and GNU/Linux are mostly different, because all they have in common is Linux."
