Google has been maintaining two different operating systems for consumer devices since introducing the Chromebook platform in 2011. Originally they were pretty clearly delineated: ChromeOS was for laptops and desktops, while Android was for smartphones. But over time things got blurry: Android now runs on watches and wearables.
