Chromium OS is based on Linux.
But yeah, if I can't apt-get the packages I need, fuck it
fsck it*
You can do that with chrome os. Chrome os has a really good Linux subsystem built in nowadays.
And what about Chromium OS?
Didn't actually now there was a chromium version to be honest but i imagine it's very similar to standard Chrome but with less Google
It's literally in the article and the top-level comment.
It's not clear which features are in the OSS version and which are locked-down.
I mean I also completely overlooked that you wrote "Chromium" in your comment too, with my brain just translating that to just "chrome" it seems.
its not based on linux it uses the linux kernel, but hasnt got the gnu userland things a "standard" linux distro has
So it's Linux, but not GNU/Linux.
