Last November, more than just rumors began to circulate about the Google's plans to bring Android to PCThis move goes far beyond modifying ChromeOS or improving its Flex version. It's a reinvention of their operating system for computers. The operating system's name also has a metal element, in this case. Aluminium OS, and we can already get an idea of ​​what it will be like.
It was Google who The new details were leaked by mistake.However, these errors… may not be errors at all. The leak reportedly occurred in a bug report published on the Chromium Issue Tracker regarding incognito tabs in Chrome, which included two system screen recordings. More information can be found in the following video.
Aluminium OS leaked: dock and floating windows on Android for PC
The truth is that there is very little in the previous video that stands out, and I say this as a positive thing. There will be a dock at the bottomSimilar to what we find in Windows or macOS, it features a top panel like macOS's and floating windows on the desktop. When floating, the windows blend seamlessly with the operating system, and all I can say is that we're truly looking at a good Android experience for PC—that is, a system capable of running Android applications on non-mobile devices, and far superior to the current ChromeOS.
This demonstration was performed using a 13,5-inch HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook. It's a simple machine in concept, equipped with 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processors (Alder Lake), integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, and configurations with up to 32 GB of LPDDR4X RAM at 4.266 MT/s. With these specifications, the operating system performs very smoothly, which is to be expected given that it's based on Android on Linux. This is precisely where the main strength of this type of device lies: offering a more affordable price, extensive application compatibility, and remarkable battery life.
The Android I always wanted on a PC
This Aluminium OS will be The Android I always wanted on a PC But I never managed to get it working. I remember installing an x86 version that wasn't very useful because there were few applications that supported the x86 architecture at the time, as well as several ARM applications for my Raspberry Pi. The closest thing I came was what [the following] offered. KonstaKANGBut I always ran into something that didn't make me feel entirely comfortable. For example, a certain tearing on Kodi.
Initially, Aluminum OS will be Google's offering for PC operating systems, and it's expected to be installable on standard PCs in addition to those that come with the operating system pre-installed. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'd love to have it on a Chinese mini PC I own, but we'll have to wait for its official release and learn more details.
