Then you'll be headed in the exact wrong direction! Phones are generally locked down corporate platforms, where Google's current attempt to lock down the web got its inspiration and start (see: SafetyNet). Even if you do repave and install an OS that represents your interests, the input/output capabilities are by default limited and the available apps still generally revolve around accessing centralized services hosted elsewhere. Whereas with your personal desktop, you can keep it personal and install libre software that lets you escape the copyright cartel and big tech walled gardens.
