You like the simplicity of Chrome OS, the desktop operating system from Google, but you want to access a wide range of native desktop applications? You could use Crouton to install Ubuntu on a Chromebook (and run it in a browser tab) or you can install Chromixium on just about any modern computer with an x86 processor.
Chromixium is a desktop operating system based on Ubuntu full. But it has a user interface that is designed to look like Chrome OS and Chromium puts forward.
This means you can run Chrome Web Apps and sync your apps, browser history, and other settings to your Google Account. You also get a desk designed in the style of Chrome OS, application launcher and the taskbar.
Ubuntu disguised as Chrome OS
But under the hood, Chromixium is based on Ubuntu. This means that it is a GNU / Linux operating system that can run native desktop applications, including LibreOffice, GIMP, Firefox, and Steam, just to name a few.
The taskbar is pre-filled with traditional Chrome shortcuts, such as YouTube, Gmail and Google Drive, and there is a search icon in the lower left corner on which you can click to open the application menu Chrome.
You can also right-click on the desktop to bring up a context menu that lets you launch other applications, change the wallpaper, the access settings, and terminal commands. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager, or open a terminal window and use the apt-get command to install applications and manage your system.
A computer running Chromixium probably not going to start faster than a Chromebook. But almost everything you can do with a Chromebook, you can also do with Chrome or Chromium web browser on a Linux, Mac or Windows. Chromixium is trying to offer the best of both worlds by offering a GNU / Linux operating system in its own right with a similar desktop Chrome OS.
The stable version 1.0 was published on 26 April 2015 and is a 32-bit operating system based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with 3.13.0-51.84 PAE kernel and support up to 64GB of RAM.
