As we all know, Remix OS has stopped updating its system since 2015, and recently, Team Jide released its message on the official website:
A message from Jide:

We started Jide Technology in the mission to unlock 2014 with the potential of Android and accelerate a new age of computing. From day one, our goal was to create products that could help bring the next billion people online, encourage productivity and remove barriers of access to information and technology. We re proud of what 'we' ve achieved with Remix OS and the response it s garnered from around the "world. But more importantly, we couldn t have done it without the 'Kickstarter community.
The Kickstarter community was the first to accept our vision in 2014. Unlocking productivity in Android, the Remix Ultratablet introduced Jide and Remix OS to the world. With the positive reception of the initial concept, we soon gave birth to the world s first true Android "PC Mini. And following the - Remix success of Remix Mini, we brought Remix OS for PC to all PCs around the world. For each and every backer and user who supported us, large or small, it was you who pushed us to break barriers and seek new horizons. We are eternally grateful for your support.
Over the past year, we received an increasing number of inquiries from enterprises in various industries, and began helping them build great tools for their organizations by leveraging Jide software and hardware. We see huge potential in the role that Jide can play to revolutionize how these businesses operate. And given our existing resources, we decided to focus our company efforts solely on the enterprise space moving forward.
We 'll be restructuring our approach to Remix OS and transitioning away from the consumer space. As a result, development on all existing products such as Remix OS for PC as well as products in our pipeline such as Remix IO and IO+ will be discontinued. Full refunds will be issued to ALL BACKERS via Kickstarter for both Remix IO and Remix IO+. In addition any purchases made via our online store that has remained unfulfilled will also be fully refunded. This requires no action from you as we will begin issuing refunds starting August 15th.
Note: It may take ten business days for the refund to appear on a backer's credit or debit card statement. If the initial refund attempt is unsuccessful, we will ensure all refunds are successfully processed. For both Kickstarter backers and online store purchasers, once a refund has been successfully processed, you will receive an email indicating the amount of the refund and the payment source refunded.
We 'd like to take this moment to thank our incredible community who joined us on this journey VE in the last three years to helped us build Remix OS. We very much believe that the future of computing is with Android and we're excited for the role Jide will play in this amazing ecosystem.
Team Jide
Now, we need a better alternative -
Phoenix OS Based on Android 7.1

Why companies (minix etc) will not create their own launcher like remix os ? This would increase the functionality of the devices. I understand that now is the time for touch screens not mouse ...
Maybe Jide will provide source code and people will continue the project and put them on other devices not only for PC or dedicated ...In my opinion there is no replacement for Remix OS for this moment because they are not working well.

Is there a way to install chrome OS as dual boot with Windows? I've seen cloudready but it's not the best choice, since it doesn't come with play store. Is there a way to install the original chrome OS with the store?

BLISS x86 is the best alternative.
How does it compare to Remix in terms of features and compatibility?
Possible to install it over an existing Remix installation without losing apps and their settings?

No, you're going to have to start fresh, or make backups of your appdata in remix and transfer it onto something else for safekeeping then install Bliss. Other than not having the UI that Remix and Phoenix have, it's actually much better. It's built on the x86 source with their own updates and such given that it's 7.1.1-7.2, a more up-to-date kernel, I believe they offer both rooted/unrooted versions, and a few other things. Like I said, the only thing missing is the UI system, and to me, that would make them better than any other choices out there in terms of a PC-compatible Android OS.

Thanks for this, very useful report.
It includes both updates from within the OS + Google Play, right?

Both for remix and phoenix doesnt work with my wifi adapter.. Can anyone help me?? I wanna use this on my pc.. My other side of brain say i should buy laptop for this.. Man.. I dont know what to do..
Then you have to purchase either a well known brand WiFi adapter or as you say andtoid-x86 based os are best fit for laptops.
