@lupine If it works as a gateway towards more complete Linux usage....

Same with WINE: i don't endorse playing games through it, but: it can bring people on Linux as that *one game* is not for penguin OS natively.

@opentrash Try putting the Mutiny layout on it? :thinkhappy: -through Mate Tweak.

@lupine This will quite possibly become a great gateway into a larger world, though. Making Linux apps known and used more.

Numerous schools / universities etc. have chosen Chromebooks in great numbers.

@b Seems to be going on still 🤔

Adélie Linux.

In ALPHA, already intriguing.

Based on "GNUless" Alpine Linux, but aiming for common desktop use.

Userland instead of GNU Core: BusyBox.

For C standard library, it uses musl, instead of GNU glibc.

Devs state: "We do believe that Linux should be usable by anyone, regardless of income level or past computer experience. We don't believe that Linux has to be hard to use."

Urged to keep an eye on this one!

Linux apps are really coming to Chromebooks / its Linux based Chrome OS!

One can check the function out even now: switch to the Chrome OS Dev channel (through "about ChromeOS").

Once enabled, your Chromebook will start downloading the Terminal app, informing you're "running the Debian Linux", in a container that is.

Use with caution until landing in the Chrome OS Stable channel.
