> The split it caused in the mobile devices (with no drivers available except for Android) is a horror, and like Aaron Seigo called it - Android is the best friend and the worst enemy.
These mobile devices could grow some HDMI and USB ports in a few iterations and becoming stationary.
That's not the point (many of the mobile devices already have a USB and HDMI). The point is - Android incompatible architecture put it apart from the rest of the Linux world. And it's a horror to squeeze X.org or Wayland drivers (as well as other Linux drivers) from the mobile manufacturers, when they say "we are too busy with Android".
I have a Transformer Infinity with the dock that I use as a netbook that I can plug into tvs and stream movies off of. The most recent iterations of the Nexus Q et al have mini usb and mini hdmi ports and can effectively do the same thing as well. Android devices have been at the point of being desktop replacements starting this year, and mainly due to the Transformer tablets, but any bluetooth keyboard + hdmi complient device can serve the same function given a beefy enough processor.

Tada - there's your Linux desktop.
