Tweaks for a low end machine?
Hmm
- Linux almost 3% of the global desktop market share - Jan 2022 and Dec 2022
-
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
Curious that no mention of developer mode is made here: https://chromebrew.github.io/

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*.)

Any advice on how to run Chromium OS in a virtual machine?
Chromebrew dev here... yes you can virtualize ChromeOS. But the question is what do you want to do?

Chromebooks Are Trash (Literally)
Eh, my Chromebook makes an excellent VT220, and it won’t stop doing that well unless I drop it quite a few times.
I bought a 2-in-1 Chromebook for $65. It’s got 4 GB of RAM, a 32 GB eMMC, and a dual-core Pentium CPU, but when it only needs to run one copy of the Chromium engine with a couple handfuls of open tabs + some simple Linux utilities it’s absolutely perfect.
I don’t intend to try and use “real” Linux (and especially not Windows) on this thing any time soon, but it gets official support and updates until 2027.
And in case I do decide to convert it away from being a Chromebook, it came with a fully-featured, UEFI-capable copy of Coreboot installed. You have to put it into Developer Mode (which erases your entire user partition to do), but then I can dual-boot with a microSD or USB drive, or I can install Linux (or even Windows, supposedly) on the local 32 GB eMMC.
If I do repurpose it, I can also flash the firmware with one that is more capable when it comes to Windows drivers, but doesn’t support dual-booting without something like Brunch (https://github.com/sebanc/brunch)

How to dual boot windows and chromeos?
This is not possible. ChromeOS uses a different partition theme and a diffrent partition system. You can use an installation media to boot into flex. And for the actual chromeOS you can see the branch framework here.
you can use the brunch project. it has android app support if you are interested. i would not recommend using fyde os (it has android but i don't know about privacy because it is chinese). openfyde does not have android but it is easy enough to install.

Reviving Chromebooks with Ubuntu
Slightly off topic, but I'm wondering if alternatives aren't safer. Does anyone have any experience with Brunch Framework https://github.com/sebanc/brunch and its compatibility with actual chromebooks? Context: I own a Samsung Chromebook Pro (codename Caroline), which goes out of support in June...
- Brunch's author suggest we could use his linuxloop to dualboot chromeos flex normally

Install ChromeOS on old laptop without using ChromeOS Flex?
Brunch is a cool project that should be able to fit your needs. It’s possible that your Android apps might stop working though, not sure if that bug has been fixed. Pretty sure it has.
Well you have to do a little bypass. Brunch framework is the solution if you are willing to have android support but this has many bugs in. Like have an error audit: audit type=1400 audit(..some numbers..) avc: Denied. What is making me so slow. Bypass is not recommended for end users. You can have a chromium os and Brunch flamework is the solution if you are willing to have android support but this has many bugs in. Like have an error audit: audit type=1400 audit(..some numbers..) avc: Denied. What is making me so slow. Bypass is not recommended for end users. You can have a chromium os and install Gapps manually.
