good luck getting a 'locked down OS' on crouton. if you're going to do that you might as well install Ubuntu on the bare metal and do away with the middle man. Can't run Docker on a crouton machine either because the kernel they used for ChromeOS doesn't support containerization (yet).
- yebyen 9y agoIs that still the case? Bummer... yeah I forgot entirely this was a thread about making Chrome a more locked-down OS. I was running Docker just fine on the ARM hardware until they upped the kernel requirements (so, probably v1.11? Something something, unsupported now...) I almost wound up compiling my own kernel, but it was too complicated, I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it at all without switching to Chromium OS, and at that point I might as well set up a server doing nightly builds and run my own Omega protocol OS Update infrastructure. Yeah, I would definitely not ask programmers to work on a locked-down ChromeOS machine without crouton.
- holtalanm 9y agoI used a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015) for a development machine for a while. used crouton for some of that time, but eventually just reformatted it over to Ubuntu installed on the bare metal exactly because I could not use Docker on the ChromeOS kernel. I also thought about building the kernel myself, but said screw it, reformatting was easier. :)
- yebyen 9y agoMan what happened, we used to compile kernels all the time right... /nostalgia
