Chromium OS is an open source operating system promoted by Google and as the basis for the development of its Chrome OS for the famous and successful ChromeBooks. There are several derivatives of the Linux-based operating system, and flint OS It is one of them, a fork of Chromium OS and compatible with both the PC and the Raspberry Pi-type SBCs. As you know, both Chrome OS, like Chromium OS and derivatives like Flint OS, are very cloud-based.
Flint OS is quite minimalist, in the style of the search engine giant's system, with a very clean and modern environment. You have everything you need, and you will have a lot of software available to install in a simple way. And that's because, as the parent OS it derives from, it supports all Android apps. Therefore, you will not lack applications of all kinds and video games with which to entertain yourself ...
The operating system is powered by a modified Linux 4.4 kernel and based on the latest builds of Chromium OS as we said. The project came from Dylan Callahan and his team of developers who have made this distro possible. It is especially important for fans of SBC boards, such as the Raspberry Pi, since ChromiumRPI was a discontinued project and now with it you can make use of a fork that is active in development.
At first glance, it looks a lot like what we see in Chromium OS, with a desktop environment light and minimalist, it is very simple but functional, agile and usable. And in part that is why this graphical environment can be installed on computers with not very powerful hardware, such as that found in some laptops or that of the ARM-based SBC boards.
