How come Linux worked on desktop but on phones it is having such a hard time even tho Android has the linux kernel( i think).
Is PC hardware more open and known to everyone about everything while mobile dosent? And if that is the case then why arent phone opening itself for support?

Because ARM is a fucking mess. Each device has it’s own way of booting. There’s no standard like UEFI or BIOS.
Plus you need propreitary code for modem to support 2G, 3G, 4G…etc. which are complicated to implement.
