Maybe I've misunderstood but referring to running local binaries in containers as "non native" compared to regular chrome "apps" which are web apps, just seems wrong to me.
- petecox 9y agoWeb apps are native on Chrome OS as was the case with its HTML5 cousin Firefox OS. By definition then, solving the app gap by using a container to host Android or desktop Linux programs is non-native.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoDisagree. They are all using the same kernel and nothing is being emulated. So they are as native as anything else. I think the confusion comes from people not understanding containers. It is simply some extra properties in kernel data structures that allowing multiple views. But a container is just a process no different than any other.
