      They’re not saying it will. My gaming laptop is already running the same Linux kernel as Android phones so the kernel is great. Then it’s down to the GUI and that might be a good fit for hospitality/healthcare/retail as the article says where some devices are already run in more or less of a Kiosk style with specific purpose. Besides phones are just small PCs anyway, it’s all about the use-case.

      Why though? Immutable Operating Systems are great for regular usage. Android is restricted and closed up, compared to Linux or Windows. But its damn secure.

      Having the app support, on this ecosystem where every app always is in its container, would be huge.

      But I prefer Fedora Atomic, its more or less the same, but actually free, with wide app support and no Google.

        Because I do all kinds of things with my OS that they probably didn’t consider when they were locking things down. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a desktop OS while I’m on a desktop. Even Mac OS drives me up the walls sometimes.

        Edit: phone changed Max to Max.

      Double biggest. Fail. Shoulda been tighter, that’s just lazy. Everything after the emdash is pointless anyways, Google cut the title much earlier. Another fail.

      It’s clickbait, you got that right, but it’s super sloppy.

    I don’t think that will plan pan out. ChromeOS is even getting gpu support and can run games via proton

    I tried to read deep into this awhile back and why we don’t see many Android tablets. I think even Google (Alphabet) doesn’t like Android that much and is trying to get away from it. And instead use ChromeOS for laptops, tablets, and dual use devices.

    What’s looking better all the time is just Linux. Really they should just put out a Linux laptop.
