Google’s latest update for ChromeOS is pretty exciting—they’re bringing more Android tech into the mix. Just this Wednesday, they shared their new strategy to power up ChromeOS with a good dose of Android, including its Linux kernel and various frameworks. This move is mostly about speeding up how quickly they can roll out new AI tools.
By folding Android more deeply into ChromeOS, Google’s not only speeding things up but also making it easier for their teams to manage their workload. Moreover, this should help different devices—like your phone, Chromebook, and other gadgets—work better together.
They’ve started working on these updates, but it’s going to be a while before they’re ready for everyone to use. So, we’ll need to hang tight for a bit.
If you already have a Chromebook Plus, though, you’re in luck. You can get a glimpse of what’s coming by trying out the Gemini feature right from your device’s home screen. It’s a little preview of how these changes will make ChromeOS more connected with Android’s main features.
