I’m never on my phone at home except for when sitting on the toilet. 99% of my internet use is either YouTube, Porn or Lemmy and all three are done better on a desktop/laptop. My phone is for podcasts, texting/calls and photography.
Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?

For consumption of content, phone to laptop use is probably about 70% phone and 30% laptop.
For production of content, 20% phone and 80% laptop, with Lemmy being a large part of the 20% phone production.

Lemmy is not the demographic to ask this question. You’re definitely skewed towards using a desktop/laptop here.

I use a computer 8 hours a day and a tablet and steam deck for entertainment.

I use my phone a lot when I just don’t feel like starting up my computer

I have an inexpensive desktop plugged into my tv, for watching shows and movies. My laptop is my main computer, plugged in to a monitor and surround speakers. My phone is for laying on the couch scrolling brainrot.

I work from home, so I have a decent setup in my office involving a MacBook Pro and two monitors.
I also have an iPad that I draw with and when I’m not drawing on it I hook it to my soundbar and play music and podcasts while I work.
Phone all of the rest of the time.

My wife heavily uses her smartphone. Like, she’ll work on spreadsheets on her phone instead of grabbing her laptop.

I cannot imagine working on spreadsheets on a smartphone. I’m getting a stress headache thinking about it.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
I can. Also, the headache is 100% real.
A mobile phone is for emergency calculations only. If your life, job or honor depends on it, you can make it work, but it’s going to suck sooo hard.
A tablet can do much more as long as you have a keyboard. Also, Apple Numbers and Google Sheets are just barely acceptable for light calculations, nothing more.
When you start doing anything even a little bit more demeaning, you really need to use a laptop. Even the browser version of Excel isn’t good enough. You really need to run the actual application.

No idea about “most people”, but I absolutely still use a laptop. In fact using my laptop is more or less my default activity when I’m at home.

Ubuntu Debian Linux desktop is the best. Friends don’t let friends use windows.

Our house is mostly mobile. We each have a laptop but it’s more for “bigger things” like filing taxes, booking a trip, designing something, and filling out forms. We have decided that we are getting a desktop within the next year, however. We have a toddler and it’s important to me that she is able to navigate a mouse and keyboard. I work in a school library and my lesson on using the catalog in 2nd grade begins with how to use a computer mouse because I have some of the only desktops that are left in the school. (I’ve even had grown-ass adults come in and try to touch the screen).

I almost never use my phone, mostly just when I need it for authentication stuff. Hoping to be able to get rid of it at some point.
MdRuckus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I use my iPhone and MacBook equally. It is extremely rare that I use my actual tv.
PahdyGnome@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I have a laptop that I use for things that I find too cumbersome for a phone such as writing, things that require multiple tabs, anything official/formal. Oh and also for playing pokemon ROM hacks.
Other than that I find a phone satisfies my day to day needs.
