The Linux distributors might be able to solve this. Obviously there are tons of Window managers and a dozen of consistent, working Desktop Environments. Ubuntu already made clear that they are moving away from X and moreover that a better UX on the WM part will be a priority. I use Linux again since this year after working almost only on OS X for 5 years or so. It has been more setup work than I wished but I'm really satisfied now. OS X just lacks the transparency and customizability that Linux easily provides. Not sure how Fuchsia will evolve. There are more Operating Systems than Window Managers. But only 2 Operating Systems with good driver support. Their names are Linux and Windows - OS X runs only on a handful of configurations. Android's Hardware support is a mess. Either they will support running Linux or Android drivers, or otherwise their system will be just useful for Marketing demos. > something like a native Electron minus the memory and CPU overhead I guess this is exactly what Chrome OS does. Or just use Firefox/Chrome on Linux. At least Firefox still has a working Marketplace... |

Are you just saying that, or do you actually believe it? You think all of the phone vendors that write custom closed source drivers for Android will abandon Android if the core is no longer Linux? Seriously? And what, move to tizen? Windows phone?
Be reasonable... Google can and will move to a different core, and all of their partners will move with them.
