Thanks

I don't have a Chromebook but this sounds like a really cool idea. I reckon if you could launch the terminal then everything after that should he straightforward

I've heard, read? from where?...*  Chromebook is worse than Windows for permissions you need as coder.

* Sorry, I don't remember the source, maybe it was from Windows ;-))

Oh you know what? that sounds like a good story for @SMcNeill pitch: In a world where Windows is subliminally (and certainly not so subliminally) brainwashing you to not switch to other OS's. You can bitch, sure enough, but you can't switch.

Either for Fiction or Fake news for Paranoid Conspiracy Theorists.  LOL oh how I have to amuse myself when the testosterone let's up.

It's  not that im swapping os, work offered me a Mac but i HATE apple so i asked for a basic laptop instead and they got me a Chromebook. To be honest it works really well and the battery lasts forever!

So i've just decided to give it a shot and see what happens!

Thanks though folks,

Certainly practical $ wise unless you have to toss it because it doesn't do what you expected.

Here the OS per WM  https://cloudreadykb.neverware.com/s/article/Download-CloudReady-Image-For-VMware

here the Chromium  OS sitehttps://www.chromium.org/chromium-os


I never have used Chrome Os for now... but while we are in quicksand for Android this can be a new adventure.
