Is it irony, then, that ChromeOS is based on Gentoo? :v
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoNot really; Gentoo isn't "bleeding edge" the way arch is (unless you explicitly configure it that way), and Google builds it into a "final product" that's ready-to-use without configuring.
- awill 6y agoChromeOS isn't based on Gentoo at all. They might share some underlying code. But they're not related at all.
- snazz 6y agoMore than just underlying code; it's directly based on Gentoo and it uses Portage. See the first line of the Wikipedia article on Chrome OS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS
- awill 6y agoThat's not what I meant. Sure, underneath it shared tech. But when people think of Gentoo, they think 'build from source' and get every kernel dot release etc.. ChromeOS isn't related in that sense.
