Does Chrome OS run on Raspberry Pi?

How crazy is it that one of the Big Players come in, port their OS to the device, and more or less take it over as just another platform with a Start Menu?



There's a way to make Chrome OS run on Pi's, but it's insecure. Uses the Fyde version of Chromium OS.

Weil that support the Linux add-on inside Chrome OS?


At that point, why not just run Linux? The official OS (Raspberry Pi OS) is a regular Debian-based Linux distro:

I understand the sentiment, but you know that Raspian, Ubuntu, etc. have all had the equivalent of a start menu for years now, right? =)


Manjaro for Pi ships Chromium in a docker image. It works great; Netflix and all.


Are you talking about Microsoft/Windows or Google/Chrome OS here? They're both Big Players, and both trying/would try to take over/appropriate the Raspberry Pi platform.


That would be useful given that many schools are standardizing their distance-learning based on Chrome OS, so (as much as I might want a more open OS) it might help streamline students' experiences on this.


not sure but CloudReady might run on it: https://www.neverware.com/freedownload#intro-text
