Yes, but not normally for 'proper work'.

The whole pot I am trying to make is that linux is a load it, set it
up and run it for years system, IF THAT IS WHAT YIU WANT. It doesn't
need tinkering, and I generally don't except after a new install.

I come from a background where we had PCs on the desktops and unix
servers. The desktops were always going wrong.

And you never blamed the users?

The servers never did.

And you never praised the installation/maintainers?

Now I have a desktop that doesn't go wrong, either.

I don't honestly see much difference. There are many things I don't like
about Windows, but I've got many things here that don't work with Mint.

Why doesn't Mint have a virtual keyboard that integrates, when every
Android device takes it for granted?

Because android is designed for machines that have virtual keyboards?

And linux-the-desktop (android is linux too) is designed for real keyboards?

You might just as well say ''why doesn't android come with fan control
software'
