#ChromeOS

Centralization in package registries is really problematic: The CSS preprocessor stylus has been flagged as malicious on #npm. So thousands of people and software projects which depend on this package are now failing. All because a completely unrelated software package for "Stylus input" in #ChromeOS seems to be problematic. Seems that they're just flagging packages with "stylus" in their name. #WebDev

The End of Windows 10 is looming. The world needs a simpler, easy, quick, snackable alternative

I will add endlessOS as Debian-based Windows alternative with the mobile UI feeling of ChromeOS

As far as I am concerned, I don't think that we should promote mobile UI on desktop. Go for Gnome, Cinnamon or KDE if it suits your need. SteamOS went with KDE, you can start there too.

Even though #ChromeOS is being devoured by Android, and $AAPL still anticompetitively hobbles #webkit, and #Firefox removed desktop PWAs, I still think the web is the future. The web is more capable than ever and everything that doesn't run on the web eventually will. It's just that this last mile of UI parity doesn't really matter. Typing URLs into a text box is fine. The web doesn't need to pretend to be something else!

Ironically, he will manage to kill it before Chrome is potentially forced to be sold.
