   Linus Torvalds once said ChromeOS was probably the nearest win for the Linux desktop. Now, Google plans to migrate Chrome OS fully over to Android. The reason for this shift is to better compete with the iPad and also make more effective use of development resources. Is ChromeOS as good as dead now? It seems that way. https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-becoming-android-3500661/

     @nixCraft I suspect this will be an attempt to thwart the possible outcome of the FCC's case against Google's monopoly.

     @nixCraft And once Google stops supporting it, there’ll be lots of e-waste from all those Chromebooks.
