Maybe, my wife will want to wait until this comes out instead of getting a Tracfone I phone.
Exclusive: Google is planning a 'Pixel 3' laptop running the 'Andromeda' OS for release in Q3 2017 ^
Very Interesting!!!AMD "s Z#N APU would be available by then....for Laptops.
ZEN is the new X386 chip from AMD!
I am almost convinced that Google is going to play a very key technological role in rule of the antichrist.
Google is working on a MacBook killer running a special breed of Android
It is interesting that Costco is no longer carrying my Acer Chromebook 15 CBS-571!
Acer is rumored to be coming out with an aluminum case Chromebook with more horsepower and ? at the end of October or early November.
I bought my Acer in May 2015 and it just came out.
What? BeOS is still around?
Well...um...uh, technically, it's...uh...
No.
;-)
Don't remember their names however.
Isn’t the Chrome OS itself based on Linux? From what I’ve read while you can install full versions of Linux on a Chromebook you defeat its security features when you do so. But I’m certainly not qualified to know if that’s accurate.
Android is based on the Linux kernel.
The Chinese distro Remix OS, has tried to port Android to the desktop and now has a stable build.
Lots of work remains to be done to make Android apps more desktop-friendly.
Haiku OS is the open source successor to BeOS.
Work on it has been slow and there is talk of rebasing it on the BSD kernel so it can take full advantage of the latest hardware drivers as well as modern BSD applications.
Whether it can happen remains to be seen.
