Are there any good tutorials for Compose Desktop that don't reference Android, don't require prior knowledge about Compose on non-desktop platforms, and so on? I don't care that "it is so easy to port a program from a phone to a PC", I'm trying to find a better alternative for Swing/JavaFX, and this assumption that everybody trying Compose Desktop is coming from Android is distracting me a lot =-)

Although I have to admit that such a streamlined documentation would be nice to have (I am also coming from Swing/JavaFX) but the problem is that that would mean a lot of duplication of already existing Android documentation. Most of the basic Compose documentation is identical for Android and Desktop and for desktop specific APIs JetBrains has extra documentation on their website. I don’t think that you need to know much about Android if you are only interested in the desktop platform. You only have to know that much to be able to tell the Android specifics apart from the desktop parts.

Actually, most declared contents in compose doc is common platform api, not android only. You just need to pay attention to the entry point method and the use of some platform interfaces.

Yep, that's kinda the problem point/ I'm not asking for a full-featured documentation, but having a big tutorial should be nice =-)
