After making Chrome OS 81 available and then skipping Chrome OS 82, the next version of the software for your Chromebook has arrived: Chrome OS 83 has landed on the Stable Channel.According to the Chrome OS release update matrix, it should be generally available for most supported Chrome OS devices as I only see two exceptions currently: The Samsung Chromebook 3 and the Haier Chromebook 11 G2. Keep in mind that most releases are on a rolling basis so you might not see the update on your device immediately.As I usually do, I’ll cover what Google says is in the latest Chrome OS software and follow up on additional features or functions tucked away or hidden behind an experimental flag.It’s all about Family Link, according to GoogleAn official Google blog post puts the spotlight on a much-improved family experience for Chromebooks. First is access to Chrome Web Store extensions for child accounts in Family Link. This allows kids to hit the Chrome Web Store for extensions but not install them unless a parent who is a Family Link admin approves it. I wish parents could approve the extension remotely through the Family Link app but it appears that approval requires parents to be signed in on the managed Chromebook.Supervised web extensions on Chrome OS with Family LinkNext are fine-grain controls so parents can manage their kid’s screen time using configurable per-app time limits of Play Store apps. Sorry kids, just one hour of Roblox a day! Since my kids are older, I don’t manage their devices and haven’t tested either of these new features.Roblox time limit set by Family Link in Chrome OSSo what else is in Chrome OS?Only Chrome OS for enterprise gets publicly available release notes and there are a few items worth mentioning in this update.Chrome Tab Groups are available now, allowing you to group browser tabs and choose a color for the group. You might want some “work” tabs grouped together, for example, while bundling social media tabs in another group. Google announced this feature earlier this month, and it is in Chrome OS 83 but

When Google first launched Chrome OS on Chromebooks, it confused many people. Who was it for? What was the point of an OS that was only a web browser? Yet, Chrome OS, and thus Chromebooks did find their niche among Macs and Windows like several other operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Given the scarcity of apps for Chrome OS, Google has brought Android apps to Chromebooks. While they’re fun, most aren’t useful on a laptop. Google is now bringing Linux app support to Chrome OS. You can already install the GNOME Software Center on Chrome OS. GNOME Software Center is like the Google Play Store but instead for a desktop running the GNOME Desktop. There are several Software Center-like apps for Linux but most have the same apps.Why do you need it on your Chromebook?Google has already added support for installing Debian packages on Chrome OS. Debian packages use the extension .deb and are to a Debian-based Linux OS what .apk is to Android. However, without a proper package installer, installing an APK or a Debian package can be daunting for those unfamiliar with the command line. Android already has a package installer for APK files and so does the Chrome OS. But Chrome OS lacks a GUI package installer for .deb files. So if you want to install GIMP, the best Photoshop alternative, or any other Linux app on your Chrome OS, you’ll have to launch the terminal and run commands.Must read: 5 Useful Chrome OS Tips & TricksWhereas, if you were to install the GNOME Software Center, you’d only have to do that once, to install the software center. After that, you can browse and install apps pretty much as you do on the Chrome Web Store or the Google Play Store.Installing GNOME Software CenterLinux app support is currently in testing on Chrome OS and as such, is only available to those on the beta update channel. If you’ve made the move and installed Linux, you should have the Linux Terminal app installed on your Chrome OS. Launch the Terminal app from your app launcher.Type or

Google and its partners announced the first Chrome OS tablets in spring 2018. While the browser-based operating system has been running on notebooks, all-in-one devices, and desktop PCs for years, Google has slowly optimized it for touch. By now, Chrome OS is running on several convertible notebooks and a couple of tablets.Chrome OS is becoming more and more interesting as a tablet operating system since Google started to support the Play Store and Android apps. On almost all Chrome OS devices sold these days you can use most Android apps from the Play Store – with a lot of them being optimized for tablets. However, as of now, Chromebooks are mostly targeted to the education markets and are not widely available worldwide yet.The first Chrome OS tablet announced is the Acer Chromebook Tab 10. It supports a Wacom stylus but resembles most Android tablets and the standard iPad. However, with the HP Chromebook x2, we get a 12.3-inch tablet with a keyboard dock, that directly competes with higher-end Windows tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro. Android devices are not capable of competing with those as of now.Chrome OS For Tablets: Better Than Android?Compared to Android, Chrome OS has two major advantages. The first one is, that like Microsoft updates Windows 10 directly, Chrome OS updates are delivered directly by Google. Almost all Android tablets run old versions of that mobile operating system. Because of that, they are not just lacking the newest feature, but also are not as secure at the same time.Since you can install Android apps and games on Chrome OS tablets, they can be used like an Android tablet can be. And in addition to that, Chrome OS is more productivity friendly. Because of that, it is an Alternative to Android, but also Windows 10 and Apple’s iPad Pro series.All Chrome OS TabletsHere is a current list of Chrome OS tablets that have been announced so far.
