Can you not replace ChromeOS completely?

- andrus 13y agoCrouton is actually a breeze to use. While the crouton script itself might have a few hacks under-the-hood, the end result is quite slick. Everything just installs under `/usr/local/chroots'. Removing one of your potentially many chrooted installs is just an `rm -rf'. I prefer keeping ChromeOS primary and just opening a crosh window to expose one of these chroots (a browser and terminal is similar to my work environment on a Mac). Granted, XFCE can act weird if you choose to launch it, but I've never needed that functionality. If you do want to completely replace ChromeOS, there's Chrubuntu.
- workbench 13y agoCrouton is interesting and I can see why people would like it. It's just I couldn't invest long term in something that requires effort on Googles part to support as they could drop support at any point. Haven't heard of Chrubuntu I'll definitely check that out thanks!
