ChromeOS's Linux support is even more streamlined than Windows's approach. You enable it, the container is automatically created (though, it is possible to install other distros -- but you void official ChromeOS support), and then graphical apps just work. All window management works across Linux, Android, and ChromeOS apps seamlessly, and even the open with dialog in the ChromeOS file manager shows apps across Linux, Android, and ChromeOS. The app launcher also includes Linux apps. One unique "feature" I like about the setup is how easy it is to just delete the container and start-over if I'm so inclined. I have an elaborate set of scripts to bootstrap a newly created Linux container on ChromeOS -- if anything goes wrong, I can just delete the container and re-run the bootstrap scripts. I'm a big fan of where ChromeOS has headed and I like the containerized approach to the problem a lot. It's extremely close to getting to the point where I'd consider ChromeOS over MacOS for a work laptop, especially since they added Desk/workspaces support. I use ChromeOS exclusively at home and for personal dev now. |
