Linus Torvalds once said ChromeOS was probably the nearest win for the Linux desktop. Now, Google plans to migrate Chrome OS fully over to Android. The reason for this shift is to better compete with the iPad and also make more effective use of development resources. Is ChromeOS as good as dead now? It seems that way. https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-becoming-android-3500661/
Source: Google is turning Chrome OS into Android to compete with the iPad

A source within Google has told Android Authority that Google plans to basically turn Chrome OS into Android.

@nixCraft No, Google! I used Google apps for work and get great workflow out of Chrome OS. I have a cheap Chromebook I leave in the desk at work and have a thin client at home with Flex installed that I exclusively use for work. Android would be way heavier, isn't as efficient for productivity and it doesn't play as nicely as Chrome OS or iPad when connected to displays.
