That hasn't happened for me, but it has shifted from desktop to mobile for me, because, for me, desktop Linux is just about fucking perfect, and I see no need to change it. But, I do very much enjoy playing around with different things like lineage OS, and possibly post-market OS on phones.
I'd say my phone is my primary computing device so it's what I like to mess with and the laptop is just a system that I need to work whenever I pick it up and therefore it gets Linux installed on it and doesn't get many changes.
I would say my laptop is more like an appliance similar to my toaster. When I turn on my toaster, I expect it to work. And it's the same thing with my laptop for the little bit that I need it. And my phone is the device that I mess with, primarily.
Meanwhile, I wouldn't mess with my phone because I need it for stupid things like banking :-/
Last year I did give Haiku a crack, so I'm not completely out of enthusiasm for OS fiddling ... but it's the exception not the rule
I do my banking on my web browser, and when my previous bank tried to force me to use their app, that's why they are my previous bank and not my current bank, because I told them they could go fuck themselves.
I refuse to put their proprietary spyware app on my device.
I refuse to even have a proprietary app store on my device. More or less install your proprietary app.
Fair enough, we have different use cases
