Wait that would have been huge. Chrome os is linux based so if phones supported it it would be partial linux support basically.

Android is Linux-based.

Hell if I recall correctly they aren't even that far off each other on the proverbial family tree.

Edit: though I should mention they've both strayed pretty far from those roots.

Same here. Now I don't have any reason to upgrade.

Well, then I'll keep my current Pixel.
