The End of Windows 10 is looming. The world needs a simpler, easy, quick, snackable alternative

theregister.com/2025/07/21/fos

I will add endlessOS as Debian-based Windows alternative with the mobile UI feeling of ChromeOS

As far as I am concerned, I don't think that we should promote mobile UI on desktop. Go for Gnome, Cinnamon or KDE if it suits your need. SteamOS went with KDE, you can start there too.

Even though #ChromeOS is being devoured by Android, and $AAPL still anticompetitively hobbles #webkit, and #Firefox removed desktop PWAs, I still think the web is the future. The web is more capable than ever and everything that doesn't run on the web eventually will. It's just that this last mile of UI parity doesn't really matter. Typing URLs into a text box is fine. The web doesn't need to pretend to be something else!

Buenos días Fediverso! :mastodance:

Ayer y hoy he estado leyendo sobre la posible fusión de #ChromeOs y #Android. La verdad, me parece prometedor, pero Google en realidad creo que sólo lo hace por recortar recursos.

Si en todo este tiempo de vacas gordas no ha metido pasta para impulsar un Android de escritorio realmente usable... Va a meterlo ahora en tiempos de vacas flacas (recortó varias divisiones).

Entonces... Veremos. Porque la interfaz de ChromeOs está mejor adaptada al ordenador. Y sin embargo Android... Habrá que ver qué tal. Las apps no están pensadas para usarse con teclado y ratón... Pero aún queda mucho tiempo para ver cambios, creo yo.

La cosa es que me ha hecho pensar en que seguramente no sea difícil meterle #Linux a un Chromebook, ¿No?

Y he encontrado una web que habla del proceso y los chromebook compatibles. ¿Alguien ha probado? ¿Qué tal el soporte de hardware y los botones específicos de los Chromebook? 🤔🤔

La web, por si os interesa:

@slightlyoff #ChromeOS was always proud of the 3S: Speed, Security and Simplicity. #Android kills all 3 in one go.
Android and ChromeOS could never be merged. It was always going to be both separately or one or the other.
Ironically, he will manage to kill it before Chrome is potentially forced to be sold.

“”I asked because we’re going to be combining #ChromeOS and #Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they’re getting done,” Samat explained”

…Are #Google finally realising folk want consistency and simplicity?

Google finally realizes that having two separate operating systems might be... confusing? Revolutionary insight! 🤯

Now taking bets on how long before this unified platform gets the classic Google "sunset" treatment. At least Sameer Samat is "very interested" in laptop usage - better late than never!
