Last month thanks to a screenshot, it was hinted that Google could soon allow Android apps to run on Chrome OS. Then the other day according to the Google I/O 2016 schedule, there was more evidence to suggest that this would be coming. As it stands, Chrome OS could always run Android, but this was extremely limited as Google only worked with a handful of developers at that time to port their apps over.

The good news is that you are a huge Google fan and use Chromebooks and Android devices, soon you will be able to run your favorite Android apps on your Chromebook, thanks to a recent announcement by Google at I/O 2016. This is thanks to the fact that to run Android on Chrome OS, it will no longer rely on Android Runtime for Chrome, which apparently makes it easier for developers.

This is good news for people who need to use more advance apps than web apps, and the apps which are in the Chrome app and extension store for Chrome.

I wonder would there be full Linux software like Libreoffice, Gimp, and Mplayer which will come to Chrome.

Hopefully, there would be Apps to SD and external USB storage support for Android apps on Chromebooks because most cheaper Chromebooks only come with 16-32 GB of storage.
 
I thought they already confirmed this sometime ago?
