I can see likely looking sound devices listed in the PortAudio device popups but no sound seems to come in or get out. The bad news, at the time of writing, is that sound doesn’t seem to work. The virtual Linux environment has access to networking, USB ports and the ability to draw windows on screen and it seems to run quite well. Here is fldigi running next to an Android app on Chrome OS: Using apt you can install many popular ham radio packages such as fldigi and wsjt-x. What you get is a terminal and a pretty standard Debian 9 world with a few things installed such as git, vim and ssh. There’s a handy way to copy files over to your Linux home directory right in the Files app but the Linux environment can’t access the Chrome OS files unless you explicitly choose “share with Linux” in the Files app. To maintain the secure environment, the official Linux environment runs in a virtual machine. In 2019, Google announced proper Linux support for Chrome OS. There have been ways in the past to turn off this security so that other Linux apps could be installed but that was risky. Under the hood, Chrome OS is a locked down version of Linux. The Google suite, which includes all of the office apps you might want, can be set to cache a copy of docs locally so you can work on them offline. The Chrome browser runs really well and if you live in the cloud, and do everything through a web browser, a Chromebook is a great choice.Ĭhrome OS is very secure and updates itself regularly. As there’s less going on, the battery life can be excellent, sometimes ten hours or more. Chromebooks are generally low cost, low spec laptops that run a simpler operating system than Windows, Macs or Linux machines.
