After the new version of the browser, Google has also released chromeOS 102. This would be the second version since Chrome OS will be renamed to chromeOSAlthough it is a bit surprising to read the manager's note of the operating system referring to itself as the system director as it was called until v100. chrome OS 102 It arrived last Thursday, but we have not been able to publish the news until today, and the truth is that Alexander Kuscher does not write the name of the operating system in the entire note he wrote; the name appears in his description, that of his user, which is what they should update.
The name is not the most important thing about an operating system, but it is surprising that changes are made to the design or the way things are written and not update everything to reflect the changes. Special mention for Ubuntu, who has changed the logo and the way of writing the name of the operating system and its website remains the same. As for the novelties themselves, it highlights the way to take notes or accessibility improvements.
Highlights of chromeOS 102
- App Cursive by default. It's an app for taking notes that Google introduced last year and that could be used for the first time on the HP Chromebook x2 11 tablet. It's an app designed to make us forget about third-party apps, since it includes functions from several of them.
- Improvements in screen magnification. The magnifying glass now allows you to control the size from the top.
- USB-C cable notifications that will alert you when a cable might not support connected displays. They will be similar to what you see when a cable does not fully support the device's hardware port or to say that the cable has limited performance.
chromeOS 102 was released last Thursday, so should already be available on any compatible device. As for the name, it is assumed that Google renamed it chromeOS, but we will wait for future releases to see if the change is reflected in more places than its splash screen.
