    Hello, I have a TP Link Archer T2U Plus adapter with RTL8821AU and I would like to use it on my PC, could you help me?

    I see, to give you a point of view i should mention that Chrome OS itself is a Linux, to test what i mean you can press ctrl+alt+t and crosh terminal window will open(it is different than Linux development environment), now type "uname -a" and you'll see which kernel version it is, and it is actually capable of running regular GNU/Linux applications as expected(*See chromebrew for real world example). Why did they chose virtual machine approach for running regular GNU/Linux applications is for babysitting reasons, and embracing web apps as it is made as thin client rather than full blown OS.

  • Trying to understand what Chrome OS/Crostini really is and getting a clear hierarchical diagram in my head..

    2- The terminal you see when you activate Linux support is not the terminal of Chrome OS itself but the terminal of virtual machine called Crostini.Although Chrome OS itself is capable of running containers running on top of same kernel(Crouton for real world example) or running GNU/Linux apps even without needing Crostini virtual machine(Flatpak support on the Cloudready and Chromebrew Package Manager directly running on top of Chrome OS for the real world example), see the page below for understanding why they chose this approach(TL; DR Babysitting reasons for someone who uses sudo for everything):
  • Would you guys consider Chrome OS a Linux distro?
    1 project | /r/chromeos | 12 Jan 2022
    Chrome OS itself is pretty much capable of running regular GNU/Linux programs without needing a virtual machine like Crostini, there is even a package manager for it. However like i said Google chooses only using web apps route, Crostini is meant to be only for development purposes and pretty much limited like usb or internal hardware access(like camera) and even the screen sharing itself.
