Engqungqutheleni yakamuva yonjiniyela we-Google I/O, i-Google imemezele ukuthi ama-Chromebook akhishwe kulo nyaka azokwazi ukusebenzisa isistimu yokusebenza ye-Linux. Lokhu kungenzeka, kunjalo, bekukhona ngaphambili, kodwa manje inqubo isiye yaba lula kakhulu futhi itholakala ngaphandle kwebhokisi.
Ngonyaka odlule, i-Google yaqala ukunikeza amandla okusebenzisa i-Linux kwamanye ama-laptops e-Chrome OS, futhi kusukela lapho, ama-Chromebook amaningi aseqalile ukusekela ngokusemthethweni i-Linux. Nokho, manje ukusekelwa okunjalo kuzovela kuwo wonke amakhompyutha amasha anesistimu yokusebenza ye-Google, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi akhiwe ku-Intel, iplatifomu ye-AMD, noma kunoma iyiphi iphrosesa ye-ARM.
Ngaphambilini, ukusebenzisa i-Linux ku-Chromebook kwakudingeka kusetshenziswa isofthiwe ye-Crouton yomthombo ovulekile. Ikuvumela ukuthi usebenzise i-Debian, Ubuntu, ne-Kali Linux, kodwa inqubo yokufaka idinga ulwazi oluthile lobuchwepheshe futhi ibingatholakali kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-Chrome OS.
Manje ukusebenzisa i-Linux kudivayisi ye-Chrome OS sekulula kakhulu. Udinga nje ukwethula umshini obonakalayo we-Termina, ozoqala ukusebenza ngesiqukathi se-Debian 9.0 Stretch. Yilokho nje, manje usebenzisa i-Debian ku-Chrome OS. Izinhlelo ze-Ubuntu ne-Fedora nazo zingasebenza ku-Chrome OS, kodwa zisadinga umzamo owengeziwe ukuze zivuke zisebenze.
Ngokungafani nokufaka iWindows kukhompyutha esebenzisa i-Apple macOS nge-Boot Camp, ukusebenzisa i-Linux akudingi i-multibooting noma ukukhetha isistimu yokusebenza lapho uvula ikhompyutha yakho. Kunalokho, ungasebenzisa womabili amasistimu wokusebenza kanyekanye. Lokhu, isibonelo, kukuvumela ukuthi ubuke amafayela kusiphathi sefayela le-Chrome OS futhi uwavule usebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Linux ezifana ne-LibreOffice ngaphandle kokuthi uqalise kabusha uhlelo bese ukhetha i-Linux. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inguqulo yakamuva ye-Chrome OS inamandla okusebenzisa isiphathi sefayela ukuhambisa amafayela phakathi kwe-Chrome OS, i-Google Drayivu, i-Linux ne-Android.
Nakuba umsebenzisi ovamile engeke adinge βukudansa ngethamboriniβ okunjalo, abathuthukisi bezinhlelo ze-software bangazuza kakhulu kukho. Ikhono lokusebenzisa i-Linux likuvumela ukuthi uthuthukise isofthiwe yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezintathu ngesikhathi esisodwa (Chrome OS, Linux ne-Android) endaweni eyodwa. Ukwengeza, i-Chrome OS 77 yengeze usekelo lwe-USB oluvikelekile lwama-smartphones e-Android, okuvumela onjiniyela ukuthi babhale, balungise, futhi bakhulule amaphakheji ohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Android (ama-APK) we-Android basebenzisa noma iyiphi i-Chromebook.
Qaphela ukuthi ngenkathi i-Chrome OS ivela okokuqala, abaningi bayigxeka ngokuthi, empeleni, kwakuyisiphequluli sewebhu esinezici ezimbalwa ezengeziwe. Nokho, i-Google iqhubekile nokwengeza ukusebenza ku-OS yayo yedeskithophu, futhi manje, ngokusekelwa kwe-Linux ne-Android, abathuthukisi bangasuka ngempumelelo kumakhompyutha e-Mac noma e-Windows. Kancane kancane, i-Chrome OS yaba isistimu yokusebenza egcwele.
