The “desktop” in “desktop Linux” to me refers to the category of software environment running on the device, not the device’s location in the physical world. The categories are “server Linux” (standard Linux kernel, traditional distro user-space, text based user interface via ssh or similar), “desktop Linux” (standard or realtime Linux kernel, traditional distro user-space, GUI login system with windowing), “embedded Linux” (similar to server Linux but almost entirely without a userspace) or “Android Linux” (Android kernel, AOSP Android user space, Android GUI and app system).
It’s running the “KDE Desktop Environment” on top of Arch Linux distro. So, that’s definitely desktop Linux in my view.
