Seems to me Android is "Linux on the desktop". It's a user facing Linux-derived operating system, and seems well on track to become the most widely used OS in a few years. Pure desktop Linux never took off, for various reasons (at least some of them non-software related at all). It doesn't matter, the desktop is no longer the main way we use an OS.
