This is what I do. But my wife has an iPhone, and can't.

I also want it on desktop

Lol. Yes.

I download most of my music, but I haven't gotten a new song in like a year and a half, so I want cheap, desktop something for the once in a while listening.

My wife has an iPhone and pays full price, this is also motivation

Your best bet is to find something that runs droidian.

Runs android first, but you can install Linux.

If it's not crazy far out of date, and you can still get app updates and Google services updates, you'll be mostly fine.

A big part of security is limiting your exposure. If you know how to prevent any connection to anything other than your server and probably Google for updates, that would be a great help.

You might be able to use funkwhale for this function

I don't disagree?

They're going to try what they're going to try. This won't sway me, but it might sway someone. In which case, that user is subsidizing me

I wouldn't call it narrow. It's almost 180 degrees. More than enough for a 16x9 monitor

Is there a reason why you dislike the idea?

Firefox on iOS is Safari with Firefox sync.

10 years ago was the time to start, too.

Imagine a Linux-like OS for mobile as a reasonable 3rd mobile operating system. People would run it and seem weird like when people run Linux on their laptop nowadays. 1-2% market share. Basically nothing is native to it but a handful of open source apps, but waydroid would be more complete. That would be beautiful.

Shoot. Imagine a reasonably new phone running something Linux with a shell laptop that lets you properly converge. Linux has the best ARM support because basically anything can be complied.
