Elementary OS caught my eye as a distinct and very different distro that I had never used and I wanted to give it a try and see how it ran on Chrome OS. Many have called the the macOS of Linux but as you can read in a blog post from the Elementary CEO, the OS design and function are very intentional and quite unique in its own right. I was able to get a full installation of Linux Mint as well a straight Ubuntu up and running via the Virtual Machine Manager but I wanted to try something with a different flavor.Įlementary OS is an Ubuntu-based OS but make no mistake, it stands out as its own operating system.
So, I turned my attention to Linux distros outside of the native Debian framework that runs on Crostini.

If you know how to fix this, please let me know. I have tried many times to use VirtualBox and I still run into the same Linux header issues that I always have.

In order to install macOS with a disk image, I needed to run VirualBox instead of the Virtual Machine Manager I used for Windows. Unfortunately, I quickly ran into a brick wall. I started with macOS because, well, I thought it would be interesting. Who knows?Īnyway, after deleting my copy of Windows 10, I set out to see what other operating systems I might be able to run on my Chromebook. Perhaps it is the Core i CPU that is the key. I have seen reports that users have successfully installed Windows on devices ranging from a Core i5 Pixel Slate to the aging Dell Chromebook 13 that has a Broadwell CPU. After some input from some colleagues, it appears that the ability to run qemu/kvm in a nested environment is more widely available than I presumed. My first theory was that this was being tested exclusively on ‘Hatch’ devices that are equipped with the Comet Lake family of processors.

All of this was made possible thanks to an update to the Linux kernel that is available to some users inside the Chrome OS Linux container. While I have absolutely no use for such a monstrosity, the path that brought me there was fun and I believe a lot of users were excited about the premise of running Windows alongside Chrome OS. My most recent endeavor involved installing a full-blown version of Windows 10 inside the Linux container on Chrome OS. In my path to Chrome OS enlightenment, I’ve explored many method with which users can run non-native applications and even alternative operating systems.
