Yup, I go out of my way to call any personal computer a PC. For example:

Macbook Pro PC running macOS for work
Thinkpad PC running Linux at home
desktop PC running Linux for gaming
desktop PC running Linux as a NAS
handheld PC running GrapheneOS for a phone
handheld PC running SteamOS for gaming
wearable PC running WearOS as a watch

They're all PCs, because I can run whatever I want on them. My Switch isn't a PC because I can't run whatever I want, but everything else in that list absolutely is. Yeah, I get weird looks sometimes, but I'm stubborn.
