>>2009569you clearly aren't paying attention to what google is building up to :^)
chromebook pixel is dead now and you won't see a return of premium google android tablets anytime soon after the pixel tablet, what comes next are chromebooks with m7 chipsets, tegra chip models are showing up with working project names, android applications are coming to chrome os with native support now, indications of android O and chrome os having integration from phone to desktop like you have never seen. let's be real, desktops are dying off, I myself was developing through ssh to a server I'd set up as a mobile vimlike IDE and was using that for so long that my filco actually gathered some fuckin dust. we all know stallman is right but we will never be on free software, however chrome os has pushed linux into the hands of so many people, and it's stable, fast as fuck, now that is has access to the play store you have a lot of apps to have access to. I'm not a big gamer, but having access to hearthstone is fucking cool. Tablet/Laptop conversions are selling more and more, even if it's not the primary feature, whereas chrome os heavily encourages it through the use of android apps. Linux is in the hands of most people every day, even though they don't recognize it, so I think you meant to say the year of *desktop* linux will never come, and honestly you could not be more wrong, this shit is fuckin hype and I highly encourage you to check it out. Godlike font rendering, excellent security, developing on it is actually really fucking cake via ssh in crosh, however I've been using termux for android with tmux as a pseudo development/irssi screen that I can just keybind into. shit's fuckin dope boi and it's only going to get better hardware :^)
