Chrome OS to support running Linux software in virtual machines

[Redaktion]

Google could be set to make its Chrome OS a much more potent threat to Microsoft if a new commit in the Chromium source is any guide. A developer project known as Crostini shows signs of Google officially introducing support for Linux virtual machines on Chrome OS.

It is already there with ChromeOS 66 which is what the developer channel is on or Canary.

Works great.  You can start a GNU/Linux VM and then within that VM run Docker.   So no more Crouton necessary.   Or using one of the fake chroots.

Have a Pixel Book and now it is perfect.   This was the last piece that was needed.
