  ... and desktops running operating systems with a Linux kernel are called Linux desktops when it doesn't matter much which distribution is being discussed.

    If you run Android in desktop mode, would that be considered a Linux desktop?

      Sure, in much the same way that a ChromeOS box is a Linux box but a MacOS box is not, but both of them are UNIX boxes. Which terminology you use depends on what you want to emphasize.
