Chromium OS is an open-source operating system developed by Google and used as the foundation for its Chrome OS for the popular and successful Chromebooks. Several derivatives of this Linux-based operating system exist, and Flint OS is one of them, a fork of Chromium OS compatible with both PCs and single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi. As you know, Chrome OS, Chromium OS, and derivatives like Flint OS are all heavily cloud-based.
Flint OS is quite minimalist, in the style of the search engine giant's operating system, with a very clean and modern environment. You have everything you need, and plenty of software is available to install easily. This is because, like its parent OS, it's compatible with all Android apps . Therefore, you won't lack applications of all kinds and video games to keep you entertained.
The operating system is powered by a modified Linux 4.4 kernel and based on the latest Chromium OS builds , as mentioned. The project originated with Dylan Callahan and his team of developers who made this distro possible. It's especially important for fans of single-board computers (SBCs), such as the Raspberry Pi, since ChromiumRPI was a discontinued project, and this distro offers an active fork.
At first glance, it looks quite similar to Chromium OS, with a lightweight and minimalist desktop environment . It's very simple yet functional, agile, and usable. And it's partly because of this graphical environment that it can be installed on computers with less powerful hardware, such as that found in some laptops or ARM-based single-board computers (SBCs).
