Not quite. Around 70% of the time, I'm in pure Chrome OS. The 30% I start a GNOME 3 session is to edit in Sublime and do some light image editing, and since GNOME 3 is pretty much full-GUI now without many config files, it's one setup and done.
- gohrt 13y agoCan you switch without a full reboot?
- hayksaakian 13y agoI would also like to know this.
- agravier 13y agoI used to use a dirty hack for that (https://github.com/agravier/chromarch https://github.com/agravier/chromarch), but it was developed for the first generation of Samsung chromebooks, I don't know if it would work on the latest ones.

- Ecio78 13y agoCan I ask you the remaining 70% of the time what you do in pure Chrome OS? Web browsing, using Google docs etc..?
- kunai 13y agoBrowse HN and edit in Vim most of the time.
- pbsdp 13y agoThis is the ridiculous opposite of "just works".
- kunai 13y agoNo, actually it isn't. A chroot environment to run Sublime and a few other GNOME applications is not the opposite of "just works." You're going to have to do a hell of a lot more configuration in OS X than in Chrome OS if you want to run X applications.
- pbsdp 13y agoFirst of all, why would I want to run X applications? That said, let's say I do -- so I download and double-click the MacPorts installer, and then run 'port install' to install an X11 app from a binary package. Not that I'd want to.
