Three days ago I saw the article (may have not been that specific one) come up in my "GNU/Linux" news feed in Google Play Newsstand, and I wasn't really too surprised, since I had found something similar to it when looking to find instructions for installing Linux (overwriting Chrome OS) on a Chromebook/Chromebox. I had actually just disregarded the article, since it wasn't interesting enough for me to read about it.
Two days ago, when I loaded up the "GNU/Linux" news feed again, I saw it was at the top of the feed again, but scrolled down to make sure there wasn't some other article buried below, and.... There was a total of five - five! - articles about it in a row. While I can understand different people from different sites write about the same thing, a news feed application should have some sort of way to filter out duplicate and/or similar articles, and though I say this, this has been the first instance of this happing (more than 2 similar/duplicate articles).
Yesterday, I thought there was only two, but when I scrolled further down, I found the five from before, making it a total of seven articles. Okay Newsstand, I get the point, please give me something else instead.
I was debating about posting about this, and originally decided not to, but since I was already logged into my Google account, I figured I might as well (skipping uploading the imperfect screenshots).
There's really not much to the article, as there's really not a whole lot to say about it, since it's just making the Linux VM more accessible through a window instead of having to switch between it and Chrome OS.
Honestly though, I think it would be better to just overwrite Chrome OS with any Linux, since Linux will utilize more of the machine's potential than Chrome OS will - though this applies more toward Chromebooks/Chromboxes with x86_64 architecture processors rather than ARM SoCs since Linux distributions for ARM chips are a bit spotty (either with availability or package availability).
