Are you aware of the crostini subsystem? You can run linux apps, you have a shell, it's a vm separated from the rest of the system, but everything works like native apps. X window apps look normal. You can run anything, firefox, emacsx, dev tools.
So now you can run android apps safely and directly, you have the ubiquitious chrome browser world running, with a bunch of chrome-os things that making it a great environment for a lot of things. And you can run linux where you are root, you can do basically anything. The one limitation was recursive vms, I wonder if they enabled that yet.
- slim 3y agofirst time I hear about recursive vm. I suppose it means running a vm inside a vm. now curious. why would one want to do that ?
- rnk 3y agoThink of recursive as running dev tools that are running vms in them, say running mulitpass inside crostini - https://www.techrepublic.com/article/multipass-is-a-new-tool-for-launching-virtual-machines/ https://www.techrepublic.com/article/multipass-is-a-new-tool....

- rnk 3y agoCan you give an example so I can try it on mine? I tried 3 years ago and it didn't work, but they are constantly enhancing it.
