Given all the fancy things phones can do nowaydays, talk to satellites, crash detection, gyroscopes, GPS, all in a tiny form factor while managing battery life and a massively powerful camera, I'd argue desktop has maybe less capability than a smartphone OS
- blep_ 4y agoAll of those things are implemented as dedicated hardware, though. There is no GPS process looping and reading individual bits out of the air to assemble them into GPS packets. People regularly do all of these things on tiny microcontrollers with no OS.
