From PC World: Google is planning to replace ChromeOS—the operating system that currently powers Chromebooks—with a new one called Aluminium OS. It promises to combine the strengths of ChromeOS and Android into a single, cross-platform operating system… and though it’s far from an official release, we just caught a first glimpse of it thanks to a leak.
9to5Google was able to see official images of Aluminium OS in a Google bug report. These show the first real pictures of the OS’s interface and other elements, such as the status bar. The images were taken on an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5-inch Chromebook with a split screen.
Google reacted quickly and removed the images from the report, but not before the editor shared a video with the public.
Unsurprisingly, Aluminium OS looks like a mixture of Android 16 and the current ChromeOS. Although you can’t see much in the relatively short clip, this first glance is still pretty interesting.
