Chrome OS should be available as an Android applications. Let me use either AR glasses or a next dock with my phone. Looks like Google might do this since they just enable display out on the Pixel 8.

You can already do this with Samsung Dex. I've been on S23 and now S24, Dex is mature and works great. Don't have a laptop anymore. Simply boot up code_server in termux and use a web browser. It will likely be at least a year before Google manages to get a good version out the door. You can preview the desktop mode with floating windows on beta, but it's very buggy. May not even come to Pixel 8 officially, only for Pixel 9.

  Google is also currently experimenting with booting ChromeOS inside a VM on Android. https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/modules/Virtualization/+/main/docs/custom_vm.md https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/modules/V...

Weirdly, that once existed for Windows: https://web.archive.org/web/20150323075241/https://www.howtogeek.com/179980/how-to-use-the-chrome-os-desktop-on-windows-8-and-why-it-exists/ https://web.archive.org/web/20150323075241/https://www.howto... was basically Chrome OS as a Windows 8 app, but you'd launch it and it went fullscreen and gave you basically a Chrome OS interface. It was weird but I seem to recall it working okay.
