Aluminium OS (also known as the desktop PC version of Android) is an upcoming desktop operating system created and developed by Google and Google DeepMind for the Googlebook series of computers and Chromebooks as a specific version called "Googlebook OS" as well as for OEM computers. It is a fusion between Android and ChromeOS, with it replacing the latter. It is similar to Microsoft's Windows, Apple's macOS and Google's own mobile version of Android. It is set to be released in late 2026.
