Associated Press: Google denies involvement in $125 million Chromebook graft case in Indonesia. “Google’s investment in Indonesia’s ride-hailing company GoTo wasn’t in anyway connected to the country’s Education Ministry’s decision to procure Chromebooks for schools during COVID-19 pandemic, former Google executives testified in court on Monday.”

Come to our Install Event! (Tomorrow, 25.03.26):
Waiting for an excuse to finally give Linux a shot? Get started by installing it on your computer tomorrow!

Of course, we'll help you: Bring your laptop and charger and we will personally assist you with the installation of Linux as well as with your first steps and basic customization.

You can choose to keep your existing operating system and install Linux next to it.

Still, it's important to back up your data before you come, just to be on the safe side.

#ChromeBooks (all versions), #Apple #MacBook Pros (after Oct. 2016) and Apple MacBooks (12" model) are not well supported by Linux due to hardware restrictions, and we do not recommend installing Linux on those devices.

Lilbits: ChromeOS isn’t dead (yet), Amazon blocks installation of Fire TV apps used for piracy

The lines between Android and ChromeOS have gotten blurry over the years. While ChromeOS was originally positioned as a laptop and desktop operating system that was distinct from the company’s Android software for touchscreen devices, Google eventually added support for running Android apps on Chromebooks while also expanding Android to work with smart TVs, smart glasses, and other devices.

Google is working on an Android-based operating system for PCs code-named Aluminum OS. Expected to replace ChromeOS eventually, it's unlikely to be widely available until 2028 and since not all Chromebooks support the new OS, ChromeOS will be supported through 2033. https://www.theverge.com/tech/869659/aluminium-why-googles-android-for-pc-launch-may-be-messy-and-controversial #ChromeOS #AluminumOS #Google #Chromebooks

NBC News: Google’s work in schools aims to create a ‘pipeline of future users,’ internal documents say. “Newly filed internal documents show how Google viewed its work with schools as a way of turning children into lifelong customers — while the company simultaneously acknowledged research suggesting that YouTube, one of Google’s main platforms, can be unsafe and distracting.”

El futuro de ChromeOS – Google confirma soporte de 10 años y migración a la base de Android

En una entrevista exclusiva, un alto ejecutivo de Google aclaró las dudas sobre el futuro de las Chromebooks ante el proyecto de unificar el sistema con Android. La compañía reafirmó su compromiso de ofrecer 10 años de soporte para los dispositivos actuales y reveló que los modelos más nuevos podrán migrar al nuevo «stack» tecnológico que prepara la empresa (Fuente 9to5 Google).

En términos de dispositivos que puedan migrar a la nueva pila, no todos los dispositivos podrán hacerlo simplemente porque hay especificaciones técnicas… Pero con muchos de los dispositivos más nuevos, trabajaremos para que los clientes puedan migrar… Mantenemos nuestro compromiso de soporte y, cuando sea posible, siempre que podamos con la verdad del producto, permitiremos las migraciones.

John Maletis, vicepresidente de gestión de productos para ChromeOS, ha traído tranquilidad a los millones de usuarios de Chromebooks al confirmar que el sistema operativo no será abandonado. Ante los rumores sobre el proyecto «AluminiumOS» —una versión de ChromeOS reconstruida sobre la base de Android—, Maletis aseguró que Google mantendrá su promesa de una década de actualizaciones de seguridad y software para los equipos existentes, garantizando que tanto estudiantes como empresas puedan seguir confiando en su hardware actual.

La gran novedad radica en la posibilidad de evolución. Aunque no todos los dispositivos antiguos tienen las especificaciones técnicas necesarias, los modelos más recientes de Chromebooks tendrán la opción de migrar a la nueva arquitectura basada en Android. Esta transición busca unificar los ecosistemas de Google, permitiendo una mejor integración de aplicaciones y funciones de inteligencia artificial, sin perder la experiencia de escritorio característica de las laptops de la marca.

Este movimiento estratégico responde a la necesidad de simplificar el desarrollo de software y ofrecer una plataforma más robusta y versátil. Google está trabajando para que esta migración sea lo más fluida posible, priorizando la «verdad del producto» y la compatibilidad técnica. Así, mientras ChromeOS tal como lo conocemos seguirá recibiendo soporte, el camino hacia un sistema operativo unificado bajo el paraguas de Android comienza a tomar forma de manera oficial y transparente para el usuario.

La Fusión de Android y ChromeOS Dejará Obsoletos Cientos de Miles de Chromebooks

Google está preparando una fusión definitiva de Android y ChromeOS en un único sistema operativo conocido internamente como «Aluminium OS». Este ambicioso proyecto, centrado en la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y dirigido a la gama alta, tiene un costo significativo: la transición implicará que el kernel de Linux modificado de ChromeOS dejará de recibir soporte, haciendo que cientos de miles de Chromebooks antiguos queden obsoletos e incapaces de actualizar al nuevo sistema.

⚙️ Detalles del Proyecto Aluminium OS

El proyecto Aluminium OS es el paso final en la convergencia de las dos principales plataformas de Google y se posiciona como una respuesta directa a los sistemas operativos maduros de escritorio como Windows y macOS.

🎯 Objetivos de la Transición

• IA como Núcleo: El nuevo sistema se construirá con la Inteligencia Artificial como capa central de interacción y productividad.
• Competencia en Gama Alta: Busca superar las limitaciones de ChromeOS para competir eficazmente en el sector de portátiles premium.
• Sistema Universal: Google apunta a un único sistema operativo unificado que funcione en móviles, tabletas y PC.
• Reemplazo del Kernel: El kernel de Linux modificado de ChromeOS será reemplazado por el kernel de Android, lo que permite una mayor compatibilidad y un mejor rendimiento de las aplicaciones móviles.

💸 La Consecuencia para los Chromebooks Actuales

La transición tecnológica no será universal. La decisión de Google de reemplazar el kernel y el núcleo tecnológico de ChromeOS por los de Android resultará en un problema de compatibilidad de hardware.

• Dispositivos Obsoletos: Los análisis indican que muchos Chromebooks actuales no podrán ejecutar Aluminium OS debido a limitaciones técnicas o de componentes. Solo los modelos más recientes tendrán la compatibilidad necesaria.
• Fin del Soporte: A medida que ChromeOS sea reemplazado gradualmente, su kernel dejará de evolucionar y recibir soporte. Esto dejará a los usuarios de hardware antiguo sin actualizaciones críticas de seguridad y funcionalidad.

La presentación oficial de esta nueva plataforma unificada está prevista para 2026. Se recomienda a los consumidores que planean comprar un Chromebook de gama alta para uso a largo plazo que consideren esperar.
