Ahhhh.... "when is google phasing out chromebook and chromeos and presumably near-native linux support on their machines?"

"""Court documents and executive statements reveal a plan to retire the existing ChromeOS software stack by 2034. This legacy system is expected to be replaced by a unified platform internally codenamed "Project Aluminium," which migrates ChromeOS fully onto the Android tech stack."""

...so this is effectively the first pass at "Project Aluminium" hardware? The death knell of the year of linux on the desktop? w/ 8-year EOL, that does put us right at the 2034 date.
