- galleywest200 3y ago> ChromeOS is built using Portage, Gentoo's package manager, and Gentoo-based chroots. ChromeOS uses the upstart init system. Sounds like they are just using parts of it and not Gentoo itself.

- TillE 3y agoPortage is like 90% of what makes Gentoo Gentoo.
- bee_rider 3y agoI guess what I’m trying to say is, in order to define “too late” we need to define an objective and then figure out if we’ve passed the point where it is possible. From the outside it looks like the Gentoo community is happy and stable being small. And that’s good. I’m not sure Google copying some of their software and putting it on Chromebooks is a huge win for the community, although I bet some of the Gentoo devs are proud.
