That's not a new feature. ChromeOS has had app streaming since 2023. https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-app-streaming-guide-limitations-recommendations/ https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-app-streaming-guide-lim... Similarly, the other features for the Googlebook are just normal features from Google's Android builds. The announcement is really that there will be a Chromebook Plus class of devices running the new Android-based ChromeOS, so everything in Android now comes to these devices for free, and apparently, most of the features from the current CheomeOS will be ported too. I just hope this means that Linux app support in Android will match Crostini by the end of the year.

Thanks for the clarification I'm clearly not deep enough in the ChromeOS/Android ecosystem to be aware of that. Makes me wander what works or doesn't with AndroidXR too.

Ahhhh.... "when is google phasing out chromebook and chromeos and presumably near-native linux support on their machines?" """Court documents and executive statements reveal a plan to retire the existing ChromeOS software stack by 2034. This legacy system is expected to be replaced by a unified platform internally codenamed "Project Aluminium," which migrates ChromeOS fully onto the Android tech stack.""" ...so this is effectively the first pass at "Project Aluminium" hardware? The death knell of the year of linux on the desktop? w/ 8-year EOL, that does put us right at the 2034 date.
