- bergie 9y agoas far as I've understood, Chrome OS already uses containers for running Android apps. This new feature would allow other applications too.
- pjmlp 9y ago> consumer apps on any device I love sandboxes, do not want to have random application X accessing my $HOME at its own pleasure.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoChromeOS is already running containers. I personally run GNU/Linux in a container on ChromeOS. Just install GNUroot or termux. I then use XSDL in a container for display. They are both Android apps. The problem is they use a fake Chroot so somethings do not work. Here Google would use the KVM to soleve that issue. BTW, Google does run all Android apps in a single container. Plus there is a weird issue where the IP is hardcoded in the container which if use the same IP elsewhere will cause issues.
