I’ve had Chromebooks about a handful of times (5), and always seem to end up chrooting into Linux. Seems to be part of the fun, or whatever. Wondering about the reverse. Chrooting into Chromeos from…oh say some Debian based Linux. Possible? If not, why not. Web-searches always assume I mean Chrooting into Linux from a Chromebook. Talkin’ ‘bout other way r’oun’, foo!
you can chroot into whatever you want, just keep busybox static with you, also for chromeos chroot won’t be that interesting without unshared namespaces

holy shit! I love and use sh/bash often, and write code in maintainable fashion, but this looks massive!

No need to be a developer to learn something new.
@Ember
Lol for sure, I’m not saying it’s boo for developers. I literally saying it’s for chromium developers guide. You need to be authorised to make it work. If documentation is exposed to the public it doesn’t mean that everyone can use it. Like on other chromeos docs multiple links simply lead to local resources or explaining completely in-house things.
Are you trolling or just a developer? I’m also a developer, here is my upvote.
@Noor
Are you serious? OP wants to create a chromeos inside debian Linux. This means they need to understand internals of ChromeOS. So I pointed out documentation.
What authorisation one needs? If you are a dev then definitely the quality of organisation is redacted.
@Rin
you don’t get it… first it’s impossible for chrome os since a lot depend on closed sourced stuff, but chromium is definitely doable, probably by with a help of other guide
> What authorisation one needs?
no idea, but it’s clearly stated in the doc
@Noor
You don’t get it.
To understand the concept of ChromeOS OPneeds to read docs. How difficult is it for you to wrap your mind around?
Learning is important. Even if OP learns that it is not possible.
@Rin
lol why so triggered? learning is important, i never said that it’s not, I hope you’re just misinterpret myself.
the link that was originally posted won’t teach you much as it covers a lot of google/chromium maintainers specifics which like how to test things, submit changes, etc. I’ve posted a better version which covers just one thing how to build chromiumos on linux without google services just for yourself
that’s all
@Noor
Not triggered at all. And I didn’t post any links.

Oh, I messed it up then. I googled internals and found this in the top response: ChromiumOS Developer Guide
