Anyone else still use desktop computers more than phones?

A proper forum question rather than a social media one.

Even short answers are useful, especially if you have tried it yourself.

The obvious route might be right but I wanted to check before committing to it.

Let me know what you think

I don't know about that. Yeah I get that.

Ha, fair enough

Sure, the nostalgia factor is part of it, but the real driver is cost per performance. A $800 gaming rig still outperforms a $1000 flagship phone in raw CPU cycles, and you can upgrade the GPU later without swapping the whole device.
That said, phones have gotten surprisingly good at things like photo editing on the fly, thanks to AI-accelerated chips. If you only need to tweak a Lightroom preset before posting, a phone can be faster than booting a desktop. Still, for compiling code or running simulations, nothing beats the tactile keyboard and the ability to plug in a 27-inch 4K monitor. ; )
