I’m thinking the future is gonna have a “Hand Terminal” sort of thing that replaces everything.

    People who didn’t have computers before smartphones came around, don’t have computers now. For a lot of people the phone will be the first and only computer they use. As for convergence, yes, it’s happening. A modern smartphone is powerful enough tu run a desktop OS. That would be good enough for most tasks of most people. Google are working to bring that to the Pixels, Samsung had Dex for a long time. But again, that will only be relevant for people who want to use computers.

      DeX for Windows and Linux is gone as far as I understand. DeX is still available if you connect to a monitor though.

      I’m happy to be corrected though. I tried searching it since I recall seeing news of it. and my 5 minutes research did found out its discontinued for Windows and Linux as OneUI 7.
