AluminiumOS, by Google: Android Reimagined for the Desktop

I was stoked for a second. But I read the open. Did anyone really want this?
ThePowerOfFuet•1h ago
Perhaps if it can be de-googled.

GrapheneOS for desktop — with a few more knobs exposed — would probably be second only to Qubes from a security standpoint.

Yes, I use a lot of emdashes.

If only you used them properly—like this.

ulfw•1h ago
This is just 'dexified' Android. How is this a 'new OS'?

Are we living in minimal effort, maximum Marketing BS world now?

sgt•55m ago
One side effect of the AI revolution, yes.

Opportunistic url and vibe coded copy? The site looks quite good though, just reads super AI generated!

> Gemini AI baked into every layer of the operating system.

This itself is a dealbreaker (and probably a recipe for some litigations in future).

> Not officially affiliated with Google.

This thing stinks so hard of AI that it's impossible to trust any of the specific details.

IMO this is slop, it's not worth reading, once we have something written by an actual human with actual information about the subject, I'll read that.

Jallal•58m ago
This. They use ambiguous wording throughout their site.

> Aluminium OS is Google's ground-up Android desktop operating system

So... built on Android built on Linux built on GNU inspired by UNIX?

randfur•57m ago
This is a parody website that was created long before the recent Googlebook announcement back when it was known by the code name Aluminium.
ottobonn•57m ago
The marketing copy here is low quality. It spends a lot of words explaining what this isn't instead of what it is. It also just sounds like AI in an off-putting way. What does it mean to have an operating system with "Gemini at every layer"? Based on this page I fear that the entire OS will have a similar level of quality and consideration.

This paragraph in particular shows a confusing lack of understanding:

"The name itself is deliberate. ChromeOS came from Chromium — a metallic element ending in "-ium." Aluminium follows the same pattern, but the British spelling highlights the prefix Al, standing for Android-Linux: an honest acknowledgment of what this platform is built on."

The British spelling does not in fact highlight the fact that the word starts with "Al" any more than the American spelling would. By this point in the page I got angry and stopped reading, because it's a waste of my time.

Edit: if this is a parody, it makes way more sense. I fell for it!

happymellon•55m ago

There us certainly more about how it can't run Adobe than what Gemini could do to improve your desktop workflows. Terrible site.

sgt•53m ago
Someone mentioned this is maybe a parody site. Might be true.

Also says at the bottom: "Not officially affiliated with Google."
