But that would basically make it an awkward Linux distribution that doesn't have much benefits over the existing ones. It seems like an afterthought, a second class citizen. Where's the documentation for Chrome OS SDK (for native apps)?

  > But that would basically make it an awkward Linux distribution that doesn't have much benefits over the existing ones. The main benefits of Chrome OS are immutability and zero-maintenance. If Chrome OS added a native support for flatpak[1], it would cover most of the desktop use cases without losing any of its benefits. [1] https://flatpak.org/ https://flatpak.org/

  Linux Files and Apps are first party citizens in the OS. They appear in all menus and settings. You'd develop apps as usual for a Debian distribution. Nothing needs to change.

  What about battery life? This seems to be a big disadvantage for most Linux distros
