    …SpaceOS, which is a built on top of Google’s ChromiumOS…

    I’m out.

    Linux is… right there. It’s right there.

      Chromium OS is based on Linux.

      But yeah, if I can’t apt-get the packages I need, fuck it

        You can do that with chrome os. Chrome os has a really good Linux subsystem built in nowadays.

            Didn’t actually now there was a chromium version to be honest but i imagine it’s very similar to standard Chrome but with less Google

              It’s literally in the article and the top-level comment.

              It’s not clear which features are in the OSS version and which are locked-down.

                I mean I also completely overlooked that you wrote “Chromium” in your comment too, with my brain just translating that to just “chrome” it seems.

          So it’s Linux, but not GNU/Linux.

        I’ve been using Sunshine for Linux with Moonlight on my AVP and that works great. The native Moonlight port for AVP is still very much a buggy, crashy WIP, but the iPad version is a decent enough standby.

        Honestly, using virtual Mac Display on AVP is so, so, so good, that I want that functionality everywhere… from any and all of my devices. Sunshine + Moonlight is currently the most promising path forward, IMO.

            I assume these folks implemented their own AR stack, so the Linux world would indeed to win much with them being here, other than convincing people to use Linux in general.
