Use VPS/PC on phone (mander.xyz)

I love how I can customize my PC/VPS (Linux), and I feel truly at home. I hate smartphones (iPhone and Android). I hate it how limited I am in configuring them, and it's a PITA to make sure it all syncs with my main computer.

Why isn't it much more common to just use our phones as little windows/gateways to our actual computers? Using something like VCN? Internet speeds should be fast enough?

We could even build a little interface that makes it easier to navigate?

Moonlight / sunshine give you a good quality desktop anywhere on any device including your phones.

Cloudflare Zero Trust is also great for that (and free for less than 50 users)
