My work gave me a choice of a chromebook or a windows laptop when I started since the company uses the Google stack for everything.
I asked if I could get a high end chromebook and it was approved. Its easy to install linux apps in the dev container and they run seamlessly with the the chrome apps on the desktop and the window manager has multiple desktops (which is how I like to do things). Since I have to use Gmail and Google Docs for work anyway, the chromebook is really not bad and much better than having to use Windows.
Chromeos is actually more Linux than normal Linux, because it has three different types of Linux packed into one.
There is only one piece of software named Linux and that’s the kernel. Android is as much a legitimate distribution of Linux as is Alpine Linux.
You don’t sound annoyed. You’re failing OP.
Maybe OP is annoyed?
doubt Surely OP’s post was purely informational…
Image refuses to load over my VPN. Well played, consider me thoroughly annoyed.
Then your VPN provider is blocking catbox. You should switch to a different VPN.
Laptops arent desktops?
Just need to take it off the top of your lap and put it on top of the desk.
The term “desktop” has more than one meaning and in the context of which operating systems are used on desktops, it certainly includes laptops. 😉

Samsung DeX = desktop Linux. You heard it here first, folks.
Yes, you are quite right: I heard about the existence of “Samsung DeX” here first. It’s such an obscure thing that I (a Samsung smartphone user for more than half a decade) hadn’t heard of it before. I had certainly heard of Chrome OS before even though I’ve never used it.
DeX is more often used on Samsung tablets with attached keyboard. I didn’t check but I assume it’s being merged with Android’s upstream desktop mode.
Stallman: Android-shmadroid. That’s why I always insist on “GNU/Linux” name, not just Linux.
Given Ubuntu is testing replacing the GNU coreuitils with uutils, we might have to start unironically calling it systemd/Linux.

The differentiator is glibc. That’s what defines binary compatibility. Ubuntu still used glibc, Android uses Bionic.
I prefer the “shit” term regarding Ubuntu :)
I use shit/Linux btw
Nice attempt, actually. I am immune to such things, but it definitely should work on younger people.
“New Linux? But nobody’s really adopted the old one!”
I use fydeOS btw.
Real men use Hannah Montana linux
Real men should update.
Just write your own updates.
I use Arch, BTW.
Yeah, yeah.
