| agree with you, i have put gallium os as a dual boot on my Acer r11 chromebook and the laptop has become my primary computing device. basically have three environments on it: 1 chrome with chromebrew shell and android apps 2 crouton for most linux needs 3 gallium for when i need VMs and other more finicky os interactions if i could get some wifi drivers working under crouton and also sync with appropriate os header files each google sw update in order to install virtualbox i could forego galliumos. under crouton was able to do a lot: 1 natively compile with gcc 2 cross compile for kindle paperwhite 3 cross compile for windows ce 4 cross compile for esp8266 5 cross compile for garmin connectiq the author of the original article is funny about using a linux vm to compile apps for android and run in chromeos. because today i can use the android app named aide to build an android app on my chromebook and immediately execute it. no need for linux, vm, or crouton. |
