Who wants to click on an icon to open a program when you could just type in the program you want and have it guess what to open amirite?
Nope.
Another body for the Google graveyard.
Can't wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.
Sounds absolutely fucking awful.
everybody definitely wants an even more locked down and ai bloated os than windows
A few decades ago I could have excited. A few years ago I would have been interested. Nowadays I'm just "more closed bullshit from google, meh"
damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
I would've considered it if google were still anti-evil, after all, Microsoft has fucked up hard enough to push users away from free operating systems. but nope, Linux it will be. somehow to be simpler than dealing with ms or google bullshit
damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
"AI at its core" is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.
I'm aware of that, and it's still a huge detractor for me. clearly they're focusing on non-value-added fluff
No thanks, I'm good
I'd rather die
so, AI powered spyware...
I remember when this garbage used to be called malware.
I wouldn't touch that with a stolen hand mounted on the end of a ten-foot barge pole.
They think I am going to touch that after what they did to android, hell no.
Windows will probably add AI too, so the only option without it may be Linux.
Windows will probably add AI too
Ummm, I have some old news for you...
Gotta stick AI in there for the stock price huh?
I wouldn’t mind if you could plug application intents into an MCP converter and then let models work with that.
I don’t really trust the idea of ai at the core.
Wasn't this ~~Chrome~~ Fuschia?
That wasn't built around agentic AI integration.
This will be.
No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.
This one is more updated.
Surprised Google search and YouTube is not on the list yet ...
Wasn't this posted like a week ago without the paywall?
I think it was on Thanksgiving, but the last few days have felt like a week
Hard pass.
Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.
You'd be excited for a Linux distro that's less open and owned by Google? Forget about the AI, why would I want Android on my PC where better alternatives exist?
Wasn't there already something like "Android for x86"?
you can still compile it for x86, and run it on x86, waydroid uses android for x86, it runs natively under a container with its own android userspace sharing the "host's" kernel
There's also BlissOS if you want to run android on a desktop with a more desktop-like gui.
There used to be x86 Android phones. But they kept that port going even after the phones went away because it was good for development on x86 machines. You could just run a VM instead of having to emulate an arm ISA.
QEMU
QEMU is an emulator, what they're talking about is an android port to x86.
It'll be cancelled before it even launches
Nah. I’m good.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
