Vmware Os Download
Google Chromebooks uses a Chrome OS which is a fork of original open-source Chromium OS project. This OS is based on Linux and one of the lightweight operating system since it basically meant to provide the immerse experience of internet surfing. It supports all the Chrome browser plugins and apps; also provides a basic but intuitive Linux desktop environment, so that users can handle it easily. However, if you are planning to get a Chromebook, I would like to recommend before that experience the Chrome OS, first, in a virtual environment.
Since the Chrome OS is not available for users separately to download and use on personal PC/laptop or Virtual machine. In such circumstances, Neverware CloudReady OS comes handy. You can say the CloudReady OS is the best alternative to Google Chrome OS.
What is Neverware CloudReady OS (free)?
As we know Google’s Chrome OS itself based on open source Chromium OS. The core difference is the few features those added by the Google such as support to Android apps. However, apart from some of Google’s own signature feature; if someone wants to try the Chromium OS/Chrome OS on Virtual machine then Neverware CloudReady OS is the best option. You can say that it is a free alternative to official Google Chrome OS.
Actually, what the Neverware did, they have taken and modified the original Chromium OS just like Google. Being an opensource project, they have not even modified it but also added some enterprise features to sell it to Enterprises and businesses.
