It's still very early on, but I feel like this is a game changer for Chromebooks. Between web apps, Android apps and now Linux apps, they will become very developer friendly.
- rhombocombus 8y agoThis is the thing that I have been waiting for to try one for development: A non hacky way to use linux tools on their lightweight machines.
- tjoff 8y agoA lot of people use termux on android/chrome-os for that purpose. I haven't done real work on it though I am absolutely in love with it, after trying tons of apps having the ability to just create a script with some rsync commands for syncing pictures etc. is a godsend.
- imtringued 8y agoI tried to use termux. It doesn't support openjdk which makes it useless to me.
- ufmace 8y agoI've used it, I haven't found much that doesn't work yet, aside from a couple of ruby gems.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoIt will be huge. Make gnu/Linux so much more accessible. Exactly what we needed. Plus the high school no longer will need to use Crouton for AP CS 1 and 2. Now they can write Java on machine native and keep all the security. I love how Google implemented. Did not give up any security. MS could really learn from Google.
