Unify mobile and desktop. Mobile hardware can run loads that required actual desktops 5-10 years in the past. For everyday use, especially office and productivity work, mobile hardware goes beyond capable. But it's limited by the handicapped mobile platforms, who are nothing more than ad clients. All it takes is to create an open (as in user has full access, no limits), responsive platform and current status quo will disappear overnight, nobody will look back. Same code running on your high-powered desktop and you "phone" or tablet, making no distinction between them other than to adapt to screen size. What programs you use on either device will solely depend on the actual program's resource requirements, nothing else. Your AAA game will make no sense to be run on your phone (which can be attached to a screen), unless the game is engineered to scale to such low extremes. Your code editor, on the other hand, can be run wherever. |

Unfortunately desktops seem to be going the same way.
There are a few linux phone and tablet projects, eg pinephone.
