It would be easier to convert to linux since Android is already a VM on top of it, right?
I'm hoping that since they're now targeting the desktop OS market that they'll make it easier to run native linux programs on Android. My biggest complaint of using ChromeOS on a pixel 2 is that there are no good text editors on the level of Sublime Text (which works on linux).
- AdmiralAsshat 11y agoHave you tried Caret? I use it on my Pixel 1 and it seems to be modeled off Sublime/Ace.
- bduerst 11y agoYeah, it doesn't do regex find and replace, and crumbles under large files.

Atom works great in Crouton on my pixel 2. I've switched to that as my full-time dev machine. I run everything but Atom in terminals. I run Atom in an X window (xiwi) and have no linux desktop at all. Lean and mean.
