    Yeah, hard pass. Don’t let an OS which has a walled-garden by default for apps get a toe in the door. Android is based in Linux, use that instead.

    Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.

    So just a closed Linux? Not any different than windows when it’s run by a massive corpo.

    “Much like Android XR, Google says its new Aluminium OS is ‘built with artificial intelligence (AI) at the core.’ This implies deep integration with Gemini”

    Everyone else is asking why and here I am wondering why an American company would use the English spelling of aluminium instead of the American spelling “aluminum” (Americans drop the last I).

    Or maybe the author just wrote it in English out of habit and the word looks like the American version at a glance. But it’s something I notice.
