Chromebook makes sense. They could also do full on Linux. Star labs has a tablet coming out, so they didn’t have to reinvent the wheel for software (I assume, I haven’t tried touchscreen Linux).
Comment on Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

A reminder that if something can run Android or ChromeOS doesn’t mean drivers would be available for Linux. And usually they aren’t.

You can order that tablet with Ubuntu, mint, Manjaro, zorin, elementary, etc. There’s gotta be some kind of driver support to build on, no?

Why Chromebook?

To run Android stuff on x86

Linux can run Android apps since we have Waydroid too and it’s universal, no need for single device - single OS nonsense.

You can install Linux on their Chromebooks, so it would be good to have the choice. Some people will prefer a slightly more seamless Android experience and some people will prefer Waydroid
