It seems Google is far big enough to handle its own Linux distro; So it is very strange why they haven't done it since they even have created their own programing language.

Doesn't ChromeOS/ChromiumOS count?

  ChromeOS/ChromiumOS is built from Gentoo
  - barsonme 9y ago
    And isn't Ubuntu built on Debian? I guess I don't understand the distinctions, then.

    I wonder why they chose to build it off Gentoo versus Debian?

      I was my understanding that Gentoo can be very lightweight, almost barebones compared to Debian. Seems like that night matter for ChromeOS.

Google has it's own linux distro for it's servers.

  that is not based on Debian?
  - ma2rten 9y ago
    Correct, it's a very stripped down version of Linux.

Building their own distro from scratch doesn't make much sense. Why would they take on such a task when it's been done already, and they can simply customize a major one?
