- nickthemagicman 7y agoYeah, I guess the gist was to buy a computer, install linux, and the packages you need? I wasn't sure either.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI am still waiting for a Ubuntu Spin that attempts to do this. It would make for a nice change.
- piotrkubisa 7y ago> I am still waiting for a Ubuntu Spin that attempts to do this. You made me curious: what does mean _this_ in your comment? What do you like in ChromiumOS and would like to see in Ubuntu? What is in Ubuntu that you would like to have replaced with a ChromiumOS-like alternative?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoPossibly some lightweight custom DE based on Gnome's SDK, like tiling manager possibly, to give it a ChromiumOS vibe, but you can still use other utils from Ubuntu. But one that's not too focused on shortcuts only.
- piotrkubisa 7y agoCould you expand what do you mean by "ChromiumOS vibe" (ELI5)? Do you look for a i3 inside GNOME Shell? PaperWM[0] is an example of a tiled scrolling (window) manager based on GNOME SDK (Mutter) that runs in GNOME session. [0]: https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM
- tapoxi 7y agoFedora Silverblue and Endless OS do this, they're both based off of OSTree for treating filesystem-as-image and expect software to be run in Flatpak or OCI (Docker) containers. There's some rough edges in Silverblue at least, but its a neat way to work.
