Will there be Mac Style desktops made for the new desktop Android?

I have wanted Android to come to desktop for a while. I know that laptops will sell with it built in but I hope that Samsung or Google will make a Mac mini type desktop for Android I would buy it in a heartbeat

Is gemini becoming the new copilot of android

After watching the google I/O event i am afraid that android is becoming bad like microslop
People mocked Microsoft for turning Windows into “MicroSlop” with nonstop Microsoft Copilot integration everywhere.
Now Google is doing the exact same thing to Android with Google Gemini.
Every update pushes more AI:
Gemini in search, messages, summaries, suggestions, edits, popups everywhere
Android used to feel lightweight, customizable, and user-controlled.
Now it feels like Google is turning the OS into one giant AI Shit.
Am i the only one afraid of android turning into androslop? What do you guys think?

Everything announced at Google I/O 2026... Makes me want to sell my phone.

I don't want Spark always on 24/7 even when my phone is locked. I don't want Google's AI reading my emails, or my calendar events. I don't need a more intelligent search box, I don't want a Gemini-powered universal shopping cart, I don't want to conversationally search, or get interactive follow-ups from YouTube.

I want my phone to be very good at being a phone, and part of that means no spyware from Google or anyone else. I don't care how Google spins or frames it. They've made it crystal clear that consent is opt-in by default, and "no" means "maybe later."

Anyone else?
