Android is set to replace ChromeOS to improve integration with Android handsets and smartwatches. Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem, confirmed this shift. The push follows a lack of attention to ChromeOS at the recent Google IO conference, despite its strong sales. ChromeOS operates under an open source framework and has Linux-like features, while Android uses a different libc. Both systems support various applications, including Android apps on ChromeOS via the Play Store, but they have distinct operational bases and user environments.
Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem, confirmed that Android is set to replace ChromeOS, aiming for better integration with Android devices.
Despite ChromeOS's success in outselling Macs, recent Google IO conference discussions notably lacked focus on the operating system, raising concerns within its community.
ChromeOS operates under the open source Aura shell, functioning similarly to a standard Linux distribution, while Android differentiates itself with the Bionic libc.
The shift from ChromeOS to Android may enhance interoperability with Android devices and potentially position Google to effectively compete with Apple.
