Android needs to remember its roots before it becomes a computer

Google enters computers, and this may mean that we will finally get another option that exceeds stable operating systems today. after Allow the chromos In a sea of ​​its shortcomings, the technology giant confirmed that it will provide a real operating system for MacOS or Windows 11 at some point … in the end. In Snapdragon Summit in Qualcomm (Full Discovery: Qualcomm has been paid, Gizmodo did not guarantee any coverage as a condition for accepting the trip), Google VP spoke of Rick Osterloh devices with the CEO of Qualcomm Cristiano Amon and a hint about this new stage of Android.

“I have seen it, it’s incredible,” Amon said. With no other hints to continue, we need to think about what Google needs to work to make Android work on a large screen. Android needs desktop computers or laptops to provide more than one version of Android than the latest ipados 26. Google can provide an operating system that allows Mac continuity among devices where there is no walled garden, which limits Google dictated applications. I am one of the personal computer users routinely that Windows is developing the first Microsoft apps like OneDrive under our throats with annoying popup ads on the desktop. The scene change will be welcome, but I am not ready to give up my Steam Library as well.

Android will be stuffed on a personal computer with artificial intelligence

For those curious, here are the full Osterloh comments on Google’s Google Plans on the PC:

“In the past, we always had very different systems between what we build on computers and what we create in smartphones, and we have begun to combine this. We are building together a common technical basis for our products on personal and desktop computers, and I think this is another thing that we can get to know in this field. I think this is another way in which Android can be able to serve everyone in every computing category.”

Without details, we can only guess the shape that Android can take on the computer. Of course, Google will fill the new operating system to BRIM with Gemini Ai features. on ChromebookThis is in the form of Gemini and applications like Notebooklm to be accessed directly from the taskbar. Google is likely to want to use the desktop space to install Gemini directly in the main user interface, such as Microsoft that runs Copilot on the Windows 11 desktop. Indeed, Google applications such as Gmail, documents, panels and more on a button allow Gemini to access your files. Sometimes this is proven useful. Artificial intelligence is great to fill data schedules quickly. In other ways, artificial intelligence can be foolish. I can ask Gemini to find an email about an upcoming company in October, and it will tell me about an email last year.

Using artificial intelligence to the fullest use of users requires. This is already a solid deal when using desktop users or laptops for standard experience on MacOS and Windows – and a smaller degree – Lonux. Android was born as a modified version of Kerneel Linux. After many years, the Android Open Source project acquired its own life, and now rules as a belt for all mobile devices that are not part of the IOS fixed field of Apple. The best Android option to access the computer space is simply a retreat to Linux roots.

Google will have to try to give up

Nobody wants to be a debtor to the application store. Google has Control In court, side stores and third -party applications destroy the experiment. Judges You didn’t buy This line of thinking, and they have no users. There is nothing bad about full access to Android applications, but they need to work well on a larger screen. Moreover, users expect to download all the main production applications and games. Consensus is what turned off computers based on Qualcomm on its arm with Windows 11. It is best to be Google in a better position to make sure that users can access all Linux versions of the most popular applications than allowing them to download the mobile phone version of Tiktok.

Simple dead chromos. Windows tasks borrow and enable some superior features of the control center or through Rapid access key On modern Chromebook Plus models. File management can feel like a routine work. Simple tasks like immune images of specific sizes are not simple on default Chromebook applications. The desktop operating system requires a completely different frame than Google recently did.

PC users want something clean, direct and easy to manage. We do not need thinking Expressing materials 3. We want to use all current peripheral devices and external offers and change our settings to suit our needs. The new operating system will need to facilitate users to change components for their desktop computers or More customized laptops. Google definitely watched the Qualcomm computer chips to start. However, this cannot be a single project. Google, always taking into account that you take folds to firm features or applications (remember stadium The game flow? I am sure) you will need to support this new long -term project. Compared to Chromeos, the new software collection should not be this mood for broadcast via Chrome.
