TL;DR
- A Google bug report has given us a good look at Aluminium OS, which is meant to replace Chrome OS.
- The bug report contains two screen recordings showing off the system UI and split-screen multitasking.
- We also get a look at the Chrome browser and Play Store app running on the platform.
We’ve known for a while now that Google plans to replace Chrome OS with Aluminium OS, which merges Chrome OS and Android into a single computer-focused platform. Now, it looks like Google has accidentally given the world an early look at this unified platform.
9to5Google spotted a Google bug report on the Chromium Issue Tracker that contains two screen recordings of Aluminium OS running on an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 Chromebook. Google has since restricted access to the report, but the outlet still retained the recordings. Check out the one screen recording at the top of the page, and the other below.
