Not long ago, the Terminal application of Linux appeared in the Chrome OS development channel, which means that Chrome OS will support Linux. Now foreign media reports that the option of starting Linux applications appears in the Chrome OS developer channel settings.

It can be seen that the Linux container in the setting is still a beta version, and it is marked "Run various Linux tools, editors and IDEs on your Chromebook" below it. Users can start the Linux container here.

Some netizens said that Steam software had been successfully installed, but the GPU acceleration function failed, so many games got stuck. A user of Samsung Chromebook Pro said that an error was displayed when running the Linux application, so it could not be used. Of course, there are also users who run Linux images in the built-in container environment of the Chrome OS Beta version, resulting in perfect running of Linux native CLI and GUI applications.

Chrome OS is an open source operating system for computers based on Linux developed by Google. Compared with Windows, this system is very small, especially in the domestic market. Chrome OS is widely used in the electronic education market. In the United States, the share of Chrome OS in the campus market from kindergarten to high school has reached nearly 60%. Chrome OS supports Android applications.
