- If ChromeOS is just a fork of Gentoo Linux, why can’t ChromeOS run Linux apps natively? Why do Linux apps have to run in a virtual machine?
-
How do package managers keep track of installed files?
With Chromebrew we just implemented a global manifest of package filelists. Everything is a flat file. You can browse ours here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/manifest

Hmm

Vi gone from /usr/bin, terminal no longer in browser tab, vi under crostini gets extra keystrokes
Apparently works on a vanilla Chromebook, no Crouton or Crostini, but must be in developer mode as stated here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew
- Firefox added to chromebrew, allowing native Firefox on chrome os.
-
Crouton still dead? Worth the grief?
Have you tried chromebrew. Unlike crouton it seems to be in active development.
-
Functional difference between terminals?
Because it's not intended that ChromeOS users should need to modify the base operating system (e.g. to install software), it doesn't come with a package manager like apt or emerge. (However, you can install one if you want using something like Chromebrew* or Crouton*.)

Using an old phone as a Pi-hole/other server... I should use Debian... right?
Actually, you know what, fuck it you're right that's way too many steps I'm just gonna use UserLAnd.

Are there any good ways to learn (Java) on your phone (android S22Ultra) at work? Or just buff up your programming/IT/tech knowledge in general?
UserLAnd is like a virtual machine app that can run Linux OSes, but can also run specific single apps. And unlike Termux it's a "real" Linux install, so troubleshooting and code from online usually just work. Uses scoped storage of Android 10 unfortunately, but I could still use rsync from the terminal to edit code outside of the scoped UserLAnd application storage and keep the inside updated (on my current device running Android 10). I think they updated to the new 11+ storage standards internally, but it's likely still screwed up on 10 anyways.

Beside the pinephone pro, is there any other device that can run Linux (base terminal is fine), with a physical keyboard?
