Not sure what you are referring to, but I am writing this post from Chrome OS flex and the linux features work perfectly.
- AdmiralAsshat 4y agoWhat are the "Linux features" exactly? Can you install packages? What distro or packaging format are they based off?
- andrewmutz 4y agoIt's debian. Yes you can install packages. You get a built in terminal running bash but you can install a terminal program or she'll just fine. Linux app support is extremely good. Everything works with the window manager quite well. Even steam is available for games. Only limits I've hit are when interacting with hardware devices, but I havent done it enough to tell you exactly what the limits are
- elkos 4y agocan you install Firefox on it?
- andrewmutz 4y agoYes
- LordDragonfang 4y agoAssuming it's the same as normal ChromeOS, it's a containerized full linux shell that will run most GUI apps in the native window manager. It defaults to Debian, so uses standard apt, but you can make a container with any distro if you have the know-how.
