    Finally. ChromeOS has always been a dumb idea. Making an entire OS just to use sluggish web apps in Chrome. Who thought of that? As if Android could not do web apps. Then, years later, ChromeOS got “native” apps, in quotation marks because those were just Android apps. So a whole dedicated OS, just to launch Android apps in a compatibility layer. Some additional years later, ChromeOS got “native” games via Steam. Again, quotation marks, because those run in a Debian-based container.

    Samsung DeX shows since many years that a Android with a desktop UI is a possibility.

    No they are doing it because they are going to be forced to sell Chrome, and they don’t want to lose Chromebooks
