VS Code and Atom are based on Electron, which is a platform by GitHub using the Google Chrome browser engine, which was forked off Apple‘s WebKit engine, which was forked off KHTML from the KDE project.
that's a pretty big leap to call it a fork of a Google project

I thought that might be it but did not seem to make any sense to say "post your code". But what was inaccurate with my post? Or is this attack the poster?
Your claims all seem to be vague or opinion, so they can't be factually inaccurate. I'm a native English speaker and hard a very hard time understanding what you were trying to say. I don't mean to attack you, but I didn't think it was a good post, because it didn't make any clear or substantiated claims and so was not informative to me.
I guess "web apps" are not as successful as Google hoped. There are some great web apps, but they are electron apps ... Maybe bake in "elevated" mode in Chrome so it basically becomes Electron, but with some kernel hooks to limit an apps abilities and let users pick what the app is able to access, network, hdd, etc.
Google has 60% of K12 in the US coming decades later than Apple and MS and a fail?
I think this is great. I bought a chromebook flip a couple of years ago, with the intention of putting Linux on it---only to find that the hardware is depressingly bad and the ARM processor makes the Linux experience terrible (had to install Arch, never did manage to make basic things like the JVM work right, eventually gave up on it). Since then, I've been very skeptical of the notion of buying chromebooks as cheap…
> Since then, I've been very skeptical of the notion of buying chromebooks as cheap and lightweight mobile working tools. You have to be careful about which processor powers your Chromebook if you want to do non chrome os things. The processors from the mainstream core line (Haswell, Skylake) etc do pretty well, although they're usually fairly low clocked. The chromebooks with Atom or ARM processors usually have a ha…

> they are nothing but a bunch of immoral fascists. Yep. The Apple death count must be nearing that of WWII by now surely.
If you cannot see anything immoral in Apple, or if you're unable to see anything immoral/fascist beyond murder and WWII then I'm not sure you're ready to discuss this subject. I suggest you educate yourself on the matter, because judging by your comment, I can clearly see you're ignorant about the subject. https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.html

This is true, but I feel like the popularity of the Raspberry Pi has done a lot to improve the ARM Linux ecosystem in recent years.

> You lose the security when using GalliumOS. Depends on who is using it. For me (and I imagine most developers), it's not losing security. It's allowing us to set up a proper Linux development environment with no wasted resources or hacks. It's no less secure than installing xubuntu or Ubuntu on a different device.
Every user losses the security. Difference is some are more careful than others. But I am old, and should know better, but still run into things and much prefer something that has first class security. But then also to get to do whatever I want on a machine AND have the security to me is ideal. I have used Crouton for years and this will be far better. Love the approach Google has taken and keeping security first and…
Incentivizing people to use crappy passwords for their email and making it harder to use password managers sucks. Saying that it doesn’t matter because Google thinks it is pretty good at protecting my account(because they constantly monitor me) also sucks.
I would much rather run gallium OS on my chromebook.

The other good thing about this is that the Pixelbook is a 3:2 screen, so finally there's a laptop with a proper display resolution that can run Linux nicely. There's a good community of folks over at https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/ who have been tinkering with this for quite some time.
Why is 3:2 better than standard 16:9?
