Big difference is Android on ChromeOS is using the Linux kernel that is part of ChromeOS. Here Android will be on top of Zircon. Which is the fuchsia kernel.

Big difference is Android on ChromeOS is using the Linux kernel that is part of ChromeOS. Here Android will be on top of Zircon. Which is the fuchsia kernel.
Now gnu/linux on ChromeOS is using a completely different Linux kernel.
It was important Google did it this way so gnu/Linux would still work when they update ChromeOS to Fuchsia. Google already has Gnu/linux running on fuchsia with something called Machina.
- Ericson2314 8y agoIt doesn't make sense to say GNU/Linux on Zircon. That would be GNU/zircon. Unless you mean syscall translation layer.
- jpeeler 8y agoIt does though, assuming that machina is doing virtualization for zircon. Or am I confused? If I'm understanding correctly, this would work the same way that the GNU/Linux termina VM is booted when using crostini currently.
