ChromeOS is not conducive to the development of Linux !!

Article title: ChromeOS is not conducive to the development of Linux !!. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

According to foreign media reports, Google has announced the launch of the computer operating system Chrome OS. Some insiders believe that, as a variant of Linux, the launch of Chrome OS is completely unnecessary. In the past 20 years, the biggest headache facing open-source communities is that operating systems have been subdivided. From the S to 1990s S, there were several Unix-originated operating systems on the market, including Solaris, AIX and HP-UX, which are still growing. This problem is even more serious for Linux systems. users have to select multiple versions of Linux.

The competition results between Linux versions have become increasingly clear. In the desktop computer market, Ubuntu is winning, while in the server market, Red Hat is leading. Currently, you can see a variety of Ubuntu Linux laptops.

Ubuntu's advantages in the desktop computer market will help the development of the entire Linux community. If all developers are dedicated to the same version of Linux, Linux will have more powerful power in the competition with Windows and Mac systems.

In this sense, Google's decision to launch Chrome OS will lead to a further subdivision of the Linux community, thus weakening the power of Linux. Therefore, Google's decision is reckless and stubborn.

If you want to promote the development of the open-source community, Google should not launch different Linux products, but should take measures to help Ubuntu. If Google really wants to "design a Windows system on the Linux kernel", it should also choose to cooperate with the best products in the industry. For Google's current practice, Linux founder Linus Torvalds may think that Google is planning to completely redesign the underlying security architecture of Linux.

There is no doubt that Google is developing towards open source. In addition to Chrome OS, Google also launched the Chrome browser and Android mobile OS. However, questions about these projects have always existed. Some insiders believe that these are not really open-source projects because they are not maintained and supported by open-source communities and are closely related to Google's plan to establish an "advertising empire.

The Ubuntu Foundation may be more trustworthy than Google. If you send an email to Linus Torvalds or Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth asking questions about Linux, you can get the answer within minutes or hours. However, if you send an email to Google asking such questions, there may be no results.

Google has built a great product, but it should be noted that Google is trying to find an intermediate point between completely open source and maintaining software control.
