I only have a phone due to social pressure, it's only an absolute last resort for me. Desktop/laptop, where I can actually see everything and have a proper keyboard and shortcuts, all the way. I'm told I'm a dying breed but it amazes me how so many people can stand to use their phone as much as they do, because to me it's infuriating.
Just as a separate follow-up comment (if you'll excuse the double posting): I'm surprised the response here has been generally so anti-smartphone so far, given that the mass-migration from Reddit to KBin/Lemmy has been characterised as a reaction to Reddit killing mobile apps.
The reddit API shit didn't impact my reddit use at all, but it was such a shitty thing for people that it spurned me to bail. I haven't been back to reddit since. Things don't have to impact me personally for me to react.
I use my laptop 55% of the time, phone 25%, and tablet 20% (don't have a desktop specifically). Whenever I'm at home I barely use my phone beyond listening to music and podcasts. I just like having a big screen, so I only really use my phone when I'm not home.
In terms of Kbin itself, I used Reddit half and half between mobile and PC but mostly scroll Kbin on desktop since there aren't any dedicated apps for it yet. Hoping the API comes out soon, the web interface on mobile is great but nothing is as cohesive as an installed app.
Artemis is in open beta. I’m using it now and enjoying it. It’s a lot like Apollo when it first started out (by design obviously, but it is a pretty successful clone).
I much prefer to use a desktop. I end up using my phone more though because I can't take my desktop with me and using a laptop in my daily commute would be clunky.
I do have a smartphone but I tend to only use it as a consumption device. I prefer to use a laptop connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse to produce stuff.
I prefer the laptop even for simple things like filling out online forms
Desktop for most things, laptop for travel, phone for the rest. Considering getting myself a cheapo tablet for easier reading, the phone isn't really ideal for that.
Both for sure. Trying to do everything on a phone would be just awful. I try sometimes, and finally just go grab my laptop because I can't take it anymore.
I use my phone for everything but things like watching YouTube, and I use my iPad for that. I also mostly use my iPad for work, except for when I have to use my laptop because Google managed to make Classroom a complete mess on iPad. I have a desktop, but it’s purely for gaming, so much so it’s not hooked up to a monitor, but my tv.
Laptops, Chromebook, tablets (iPad and Android), and an android phone. I've basically got everything but an actual desktop (which is fair since I don't have a desk).
Desktop Linux PC, though lots of time spent gaming on Steam Deck, i just love it's controls. I have 2 Linux phones, but use them infrequently and only for phone calls/texts. Honestly, i don't know how people can tolerate the anti-consumer bullshit with Android or iPhone/Apple.
1+ for Linux desktop and Steamdeck. I don’t touch my PC much anymore since getting my Steam Deck, I have no desire to sit at a desk. There's just some financial stuff I have to do on the desktop, but rarely.
Otherwise it's all mobile. I'd love to get a Linux phone, but as far as I'm aware they won't run the apps I need/want so I'm still using Android.
I don't browse the Fediverse on my computer, but if I'm home I use my desktop for everything. I game on it and I don't have very much disposable income, so I don't have a laptop and my phone is a good four or five generations back.
Situations like yours are definitely more common than this thread makes it seem! Most of my friends (and their families) don't even have actual computers like desktops or laptops and just use their phones for everything.
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I technically have an old, broken-screened computer (my cat sat on the screen lol,) but since it's broken and barely usable, I don't use it unless I absolutely need a computer for some reason, which is increasingly rare. There's no way in hell I can afford anything else, since I'm disabled and can't work to make money to buy things. Otherwise I'd use a computer more.
Mostly phone these days. They’re powerful enough to do anything you’d like… even if that’s creating videos or producing a whole music album… they’re tiny laptops. I have a desktop that’s mostly just a server for my media and also a laptop though.
