ChromeOS Feature Drop?! | MAJOR new FUNCTIONS!

[@ShellymanStudios]

A much needed update for Chrome OS.

[@srs0591]

I noticed you've still got Stadia pinned to your shelf...such a miss from Google.

[@Beartato1989]

I kid you not if Google said just kidding Stadia is back for 15 dollars a month, I would preorder again. It is such a drag playing on Xbox now..

[@CenterInYou]

One thing I'd love to see in COS is the ability to have shared calendar work in the calendar.

[@darrsil]

Apparently you haven't used that Chromebook in a while since you still have the Stadia icon in the shelf... 😂

[@sheldonkupa9120]

I use linux since the beginnings, and i couldnt understand/like the concept of chrome OS while playing around with Flex. After my sister needed to use her old Win XP notebook this changed. She has an android phone and i installed Chrome OS Flex for her. She is extremely happy and i had zero follow up questions. I support a lot of friends when trying linux distros and have a lot of trouble in explaining concepts. And YES, any linux distro out there has from time to time issues not solvable for unexperienced ppl. Chrome OS is a dream for admins and large organisations, thats where it shines the most. Most youtubers look at it from a power user perspective where it doesnt shine clearly.

[@drumworld]

Would like it if they bring in support for more fully fledged applications which are available on windows and Mac for coding , video editing and maybe for engineering and other tasks so they can entirely replace windows and macos and compete with them

[@cypriendelaporte5041]

For coding you have IDX but I agree for the creative part it's definitly lacking.

[@lohlundgames]

I would pick linux always over ChromeOS but these features are interesting 🤔

[@Dion27375]

Chrome OS is basically a heavily modified version of Gentoo Linux.

[@itsachyutkrishna]

A better files app and cohesive ecosystem features with Android would be great. Also waiting for Lacros

[@MichaelBTech]

Phone Hub is really good. Especially with buillt in QuickShare and App Streaming.

[@Kateydid18]

They’re getting better with android integration. I remember having a chromebook from 2017 and rhe android apps were basically unusable and now with a 2024 chromebook plus the integration is much better.

[@JeroenBorsboom]

Did I saw a Stadia shortcut on the taskbar? 😅

[@RiseOfHaitia]

Lol yupp. Probably means they haven't turned on that laptop since last year. 😂

[@johnswift376]

The only thing of interest was the tasks integration in calendar on the taskbar, which isn't actually there. The update info mentions it, but there's no difference to the calendar at all.

[@qwertyuser8541]

I misread the title as chromeOS being droped 😂

[@flyingaviator8158]

That would actually be a very google thing to do lmao

[@charlesxavier1904]

If only they had a software developer conference where they could talk about these updates?

[@MichaelBTech]

I've been holding onto my Pixelbook Go for a while now, but I think I am now ready to upgrade to Chromebook Plus! All of these features are awesome. *Focus Mode* is easily my favorite feature, but there are quite a few quality of life features in this feature drop!

[@curbsidetech]

awesome news too bad My duet 5 will not get some of the features. I will keep using Gemini in browser .

[@sxnjuxnito]

Chrome OS shoud add widgets or something to the homescreen, even in lockscreen and it will be all for Windows

[@christopherskraba345]

Are all of these features locked to Chromebook Plus devices?

[@psalmistpro2554]

I believe so

[@christopherskraba345]

@@psalmistpro2554 That's disappointing.

[@thepixelambassador6980]

Would all these features later come to older Chromebooks?

[@PeterHGiftos]

Focus mode does not seem to be available.

[@markloughtonUK]

Why do only some Google sites have an option to install a proper web app (rather than create a shortcut) ?

[@RuiDonizete]

ChromeOS is gorgeous

[@Max86421]

Chromebook Plus ❤️🔥

[@Lococrazy300]

What Layout of Keyboard is That?

[@Redgyart]

I honestly feel that Chrome OS will be the future of how we use computers

[@alexmorrow3750]

I doubt for any sort of power user it will but I can see it becoming the standard laptop for a lot of lighter users. The lack of app support and power even in this plus feature set will keep a lot of people including myself off

[@disastermaster3K]

Chromeos sucks

[@jayh40515]

@@alexmorrow3750 As a light user, it is the standard laptop for me and has been for the last 6 years. All I do is check messages, watch KZbin and surf the net. My current Chromebook I bought new for $25 after using a gift card at Best Buy 3 years ago, and will be getting software support for another 3 years.

[@malekinception]

Chances of that are zero

[@lohlundgames]

Its based on linux and i think linux is going to win against chromeOS due to privacy and Linux already has a higher market share than ChromeOS (3,88 %(Linux) and 2,56% (chromeOS) Desktop market share in April according to statcounter(combined total of 6,44% of Linux users 🤯)

[@Crazyblox]

ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, I'm going fucking insane

[@alemanjimmy101]

Would this come to pixelbook ?

[@Subhamkundu96]

My chromebook is not getting updates..what should i do??

[@Jiren0420]

The only feature we need is to be able to download & install APK freely

[@adambr25]

Just Chromebook plus?

[@dillanio9191]

I swear by windows, but icl ChromeOS looks like it could be useful af with that Google tasks and calendar integration

[@layonnguyen5139]

Does chrome flex os have all features?

[@DannyFenton217]

Help me write is a great tool for people like me who have multiple ideas scattered and better helps me understand my own ideas.

[@matthewpeter4568]

I can't wait to try it out.

[@the987abc]

No sidecar type frature still??

[@AkoToMarjon]

chrome os should be use in the tablet and optimized like ipad

[@robinirie98]

Chromebooks continue to seems like a cool niche side project from google rather than a real attempt to grab market share from Windows/Mac. Like a proof of concept convincing us that we can do everything on the web. Yet people want native apps that they can use to do real work on a train when they have no internet connection. Better integration of the linux partition could solve this. A tiny investment could see the office suite rival MS Office as a native app. But google are very unserious about growing market share

[@jobiej7416]

What kind of apps are you talking about? It’s the devs that don’t put in the extra effort to make their apps into progressive web app

[@robinirie98]

@@jobiej7416 let's start with any app that you can use without internet connection. The ability to edit a report or work on a budget without remembering to set it to "available offline" before leaving home. How about enabling the photo editor and magic maguffin available natively without internet? Allowing the Linux partition to have access to camera and mic.Or play native games when you are on a flight. The point is that more people would get a Chromebook if the could use it like a Mac or windows PC. This webapp noise is nonsense because you could already install any website as a web app

[@robinirie98]

@@jobiej7416 any apps that allows people to work without being tethered to the net doing reports and budget, graphics design. Anything you can do on a Mac or windows

[@エバン]

could you review the samsung galaxy chromebook plus it's out now :D

[@Emvkazama]

Useless AI when dj software, video software vídeo games etc are only supported by Mac os and windows.

[@TokyoNeko8]

Too bad I can't upgrade any of my devices to this new ChromeOS!

[@EmilBär-y2n]

What features come to non-Plus Chromebooks?

[@oisin3928]

Should have created a new pixelbook

[@ALROD]

4:52 Dead pixels all over?

[@GutiCurse]

Is there a Chromebook everyone would suggest?

[@nickthaskater]

12 free months and then $20 a month after, lol. Google should just include it with Chrome OS as standard. They ought to want differentiation and to make the tech accessible so they can scrape more data.

[@BounegabWailwb]

In Flex

[@alistairrickman]

Which Chromebook are you using in this video??

[@Max86421]

Hot! 🔥🔥🔥

[@invertthelab6532]

major update? still waiting better support from google itself, for basic needs even google files not fully work right, google office suite still suck after years,

[@MaiElizabeth]

Oop there

[@keirlbatoy3625]

They should make deskstop customizable it looks awkward

[@FuzeFyreGreenFerret]

12 months FREE for Gemini Advanced is a really good incentive if you're a google fan and want a chromebook!

[@ianwill93]

Don't out yourselves so hard. Just blur the Stadia logo out, since it proves you haven't used a Chromebook for over a year... Guess this is sponsored.

[@9to5Google]

No I just refuse to let my Stadia app disappear 😭

[@mikizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Wow, just wow. A dozen of bloat and unuseful futures. Drop ChromeOS, embrace Linux

[@Kateydid18]

How does someone even use linux though?

[@dhanush-_-2562]

Why use the useless ChromeOS when there's a powerful alternative like Linux?

[@sampletext69420]

True

[@michaelball93]

Because they are aimed at completely different markets. The average ChromeOS user isn't going to know where to start with Linux.

[@dhanush-_-2562]

​@@michaelball93 ok but most chrome books are capable to run windows(😐) or Linux but most or all manufacturers make it hard to install those os in some cases impossible for an average users. most of the chrome books after their support end they become e-waste

[@sampletext69420]

@@michaelball93 that's because they have skill issue

[@sys935]

Chrome os supports android apps , linux , and html5 apps

[@TouhouGaijin]

I really love my chromebook after this update. Such a nice laptop with lots of cool features. I have the ASUS CM34 Flip, its a nice blue color.
