Everything revealed at Google I/O 2018: Android P beta, huge Maps overhaul, Google Assistant gets personal
It didn't make the I/O main stage, but in a follow-up post, Google revealed that Chromebooks are getting Linux support to help developers code on the browser-based laptops. A preview will be available for the Pixelbook soon. "Support for Linux will enable you to create, test and run Android and web apps… Run popular editors, code in your favorite language and launch projects to Google Cloud with the command-line. Everything works directly on a Chromebook. Linux runs inside a virtual machine that was designed from scratch for Chromebooks. That means it starts in seconds and integrates completely with Chromebook features. Linux apps can start with a click of an icon, windows can be moved around, and files can be opened directly from apps."
