If I understand this correctly it's just running Debian in a VM/container? I quite like the Chromebook hardware but I don't want to run ChromeOS (and whatever data collection crap-ware they run), when can we just install any OS we want?


IIRC Chromium OS doesn't collect the data the way the closed-source Chrome OS does. It's a great OS for getting work done (on Gapps, of course.)

Debian (and all other userspace-run operating systems) are in a container.


> Linux on Chromebook laptops is not a dual-boot operation. You're running both operating systems simultaneously.

It's really vague. But yes sounds like a container with a seamless window manager via Wayland.


You can boot from USB or other partitions on some chromebooks; see GalliumOS: https://galliumos.org/
