Incidentally, it does look you can build a physical system using the Chromium OS programme. Such a programme exists using the Android Studio, which containers profiles not just for tablets, phones, but also Google PixelBook.Īt some stage, I will just cut to the case and acquire Google Pixelbook, but I was curious about the setup of the above and thought other who might want to play with ChromeOS might be interested in my adventures. It occurred to be that needn’t necessarily have to run ChromeOS on a physical system, and there was probably an emulator that would do the job just fine – the same kind of emulators used by developers to write apps for Android and ChromeOS and test them across a range of device types, without the need to acquire every single device. One thing I’m keen to do is to get my hands on a Google Chromebook/Pixelbook and kick the tyres on an internal build we have Droplet Containers running in ChromeOS. One thing I’m considering doing is declaring Friday as “Geek Off Friday” where I allow myself the time to investigate madcap ideas and blog about them, as well as blogging about useful production-ready stuff too. There’s little point in being Chief Technologist if I’m not getting my hands dirty. The setup here works for ALL operating systems including Windows, just skip the Linux bits if you setup on Windows.Īlongside all my new work at Droplet Computing, I’ve allowed myself to feed my inner geek. Its something I might come back to using a Windows build in a few months time. I’d be tempted to try this on physical Windows.įor me, the deal-breaker is the ancient release of Google ChromeOS available through the ChromeOS Repo. Secondly, the version of ChromeOS currently available on Android Studio is quite old its version 6.7.įinally, although this performed better than the nested Windows version I had running on my ESXi host, I found it crashed more frequently on Ubuntu than it did on Windows10. It’s useable, but you could just go out and buy a cheap Chromebook, and get fantastic performance. Three words of advice.įirstly, even with all the CPU accelerators in place and as many of the performance barriers removed, this emulation is not very horribly quick. Note: Before you go down this particular rabbit hole.
