I hate to break the news to you, but you'll be lucky to get 5 users on anything desktop-only these days. Just so you know.
Sales of desktop/laptop computers has been steadily declining for years, with a recent reprieve due to Covid. These sales aren't generally to people who have any interest in writing programs, they're just necessary tools they buy so they can do their office work remotely.
Besides which, writing a program which does something useful, like, for example, balancing your checkbook, is hard *. It's so much easier to just say "Alexa, am I broke yet?"
* the complexity of the tools required to "just get it done" increases exponentially, while the demand for stuff you might create once you learn to use those tools is evaporating.
