At the beginning

In the previous article (Introduction of various android x86 derivative OS), I introduced the android x86 derivative OS. I tried various things with a strong desire to watch Youtube under the proxy server, but in the end I gave up because I got a thermal runaway (probably I can not control the PC correctly) when I put the android in the PC. I confirmed the existence of a savior called Chrome OS, so I wrote an article.

I actually installed Chrome OS.

The method is complicated because it should not be done. First, download the iso of linux Mint, burn it to USB with rufus etc., Install .sh with Chrome OS image file and Brunch installed Plunge into the usb that was burned earlier and boot. For details and links, see (https://beebom.com/how-install-chrome-os-on-pc/ ) Is written. Then, without installing Mint, start install.sh in / cdrom or somewhere as superuser and it's OK (Internet connection required) This internet connection is a songwriter and linux mint does not support surface go wifi connection by default.

Fighting with network firmware (problem)

What it means that wifi connection is impossible is that the firmware is not included and it seems that the wifi device is not compatible (I do not know in detail). As introduced in the previous article (What to do if you can't use WiFi on Linux), installing the network firmware has already been solved. However, the problem here is that you have to boot with usb, and even if you install the firmware, all the data will be lost when you reboot. The solution was to forcibly create an iso file containing the firmware.

Fighting with network firmware (solution)

How to type the firmware into the iso file is cubic (Custom Ubuntu ISO Creator) Was used. What it means is that it is software that can add or remove various firmware or software to the linux iso file. I used it to install the firmware and succeeded in installing Chrome OS.

Chrome OS usability

Perhaps the best thing about Chrome OS is that it supports android apps that were supported a few years ago. I also succeeded in inserting the long-sought Youtube. Another advantage is that it gives you a great sense of security with the backing of Google. It seems that it is also compatible with linux, but since there were too few software compatible with gentoo OS, It feels like it's for development.

Finally

It's a gray color that is very close to black, but it's extremely convenient, so why not give it a try?
