monkeys paw year of the linux desktop
😭
Man, 10 years ago I would have been kinda interested in this. But now? Yeah no, give me root or give me death.
And laptops have improved battery life so much that a mobile OS no longer offers any benefit
I don’t know if I’d go that far lmao
They just want to have a locked down desktop OS you can’t install adblockers on (for example), for a start. Imagine you have a PC at home but dont have “root” access, just like our stupid phones. Fuck right off.
Yeah lets not run operating systems from Microsoft or Google, thats a very bad idea if you care at all about privacy.
They will give up on “Aluminium OS” in 12 to 18 months.
Something nobody ever asked for or wanted.
Windows 11, but worse!
The company stated it is collaborating with Qualcomm to build a new platform that converges mobile and desktop computing, leveraging recent advancements in AI.
i wouldn’t be “anti-ai” if every single company wasn’t forcing it into every single thing with no way to opt out except to hack your own devices…
however, fuck ai… and there’s no way it’s improving that android pc….
the bubble popping will be catastrophicExcellent. More closed systems and more control to Google. Now even on PCs.
It is even “built with artificial intelligence (AI) at the core.”
Exactly what we all want. Thank you, Google. What would we do without you?
… 🤮
Yeah, welcome verified apps on PC.

This guaranteeing this will never be installed in anything of mine. Not even as a VM. Even TempleOS got more bare metal time than this will ever see.
So they killed ChromeOS to… Do this?
This is the innovation capitalism drives. Just worse versions of things we already have with middlemen bolted on to suck more money or control away from you.
Enshittification comes for everything eventually
Why would this be worse than ChromeOS? It’s not even out yet lol
Sounds cheap and flimsy.
Hmmm… Nope…
Too many syllables.
Would you prefer ‘Lead OS’?
