Yeah, hard pass. Don’t let an OS which has a walled-garden by default for apps get a toe in the door. Android is based in Linux, use that instead.

Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.
Because it will give Google full control over your device and it’s software. Same reason they try to close the app landscape on Android.
So just a closed Linux? Not any different than windows when it’s run by a massive corpo.

“Much like Android XR, Google says its new Aluminium OS is ‘built with artificial intelligence (AI) at the core.’ This implies deep integration with Gemini”
.Nah fuck off somewhere else please would ya
Okay. Are they going to do the same thing they’re doing in Android now? Are we going to need to use ADB to install software without their consent?
x86 Android is new?
Here’s hoping GrapheneOS decides to support it! 🤞
It’s been a few days since this was posted, has google killed it yet?

Honestly, anything is better than windows. Even if it is horrible, its still some competition to microsoft.
Linux has existed for 31 years.
And it hasnt been a competitor for 31 years. I am not saying its bad, I will be switching to linux, but for most it isnt viable.

For most it absolutely is viable.
Linux is great for the average person, great for experts.
It’s the “pro-sumer” people that struggle most often. They’re the ones who know windows pretty well, know what apps they want to install, and have became used to the quirks of windows. They struggle to adapt.
Most people use their laptops for web browsing, YouTube, Spotify, and basic document editing. They’d be fine with Linux. They just don’t use it because laptops are sold with Windows.
