Reminder of the following:1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use. https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS. 2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones. You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.

>>107690228Why would Google make a good OS when they can make one bloated with spyware like Windows?
>>107690228KDE will still be better than anything in existence as it always was.
Google is run by Indians and therefore they can't do anything right. I'll enjoy watching them fail
>>107690228
Okay, I'm still going to use Mint Xfce. What's google doing to do, force me to install their spyware on my computer?
>>107690228Ok. That won't happen, google can't magically make a better desktop then everyone else. More liekly they'll just reuse chromeOSes UX with some of Androids and it will be utter dogshit so people will end up using kde, gnome or whatever else if they care not to use the web browser os like chromeos. Windows will certainly stay in market given Microsoft's foothold on enterprise, lesser; consumers. Google shit isn't worth it since it will just be a rehash of chromeos and even if not functionality of aluminum would need to compete with better options given the free space that linux is. KDE's window management is top class, to a scary degree they even outclass windows with power toy. You know you're retard, Don't act surprised by the fact you're a faggot
>>107690254>implying this is trolling and not reality
>>107690265>KDE will still be better than anything in existence as it always was.KDE will be rendered useless in a matter of years since so many people will use the Google desktop instead. >>107690272I'm afraid KDE and LXQT are also on the chopping block.>>107690273Mint will just give up and use Google's desktop, if they still exist in 2030.
>>107690275>That won't happen, google can't magically make a better desktop then everyone else.They just have to make a better OS for free, like how Android destroyed all the other smartphone OS's. Why deal with Windows when you can run Google desktop for free?
>>107690228>Google>FOSS>good DEChoose two, and Im being generous here.
>>107690228I'm interested, but only if the hardware is tied to the software like on Macbooks and google pixels. Hopefully the graphene team will make a FOSS version without spyware. Otherwise I will stick with Mac for work and Linux for private.
>>107690522>I'm interested, but only if the hardware is tied to the software like on Macbooks and google pixels.sounds gay ngl
>>107690228I remember all those google products that that totally didn't get the plug pulled.I'm posting this from my Google glass while my stadia buffers.+1ing your post too.
>>107690254This>>107690280Put more effort in
>>107690587>Put more effort inIt's real.
>>107690228No it won't, and frankly without a declarative build environment I'll almost certainly be completely uninterested
>>107690228If it a datamining and enshitified OS with the playstore full of spamware then I won't buy it and stick with Debian or Slackware because I refuse to be a product for google advertisers
>>107690228Google products suck though. They're not going to magically make a better desktop.
>merge ChromeOS and Android to formTwo mobile operating systems merged are still a mobile operating system. This will probably only work on desktop/laptop PCs with ARM processors (<25% of new PC sales in 2025). All programs for x86 will have to be rewritten or go through an emulation layer. In short, existing Linux distributions aren't going anywhere.
>>107690270idk man I have an android phone and it works really well
so they're making a fork of their fork combined with the other fork?
>>107690228The problem with sucking so much corporate cock as joke is that people the people who can't tell it's a joke will start doing it for real.
You mean it will make another Linux distro with some heavy customisations that collect everything you do on your system and send it to their servers? I believe that
>>107691170Why do you hate Android?
The indian at Google will reach out to the troons at Gnome and they will use Gnome as the indian Linux Google distro DE. Mark my words, screencap this post - the indians at Google will fuck this shit up and will really use the deprecated DE that noone uses as their base.
>>107691240Because it uses Java
So google is going to make Gnome 2.0? Well Gnome 1 version 2 was cool for its time so maybe Gnome 2.0 version 1 will suck less.
