This VM is a very small Linux installation with only one purpose: Running containers via LXC. I do not know how it works in detail, but I do know that there is a VM running on ChromeOS called termina. Crostini is a custom environment in ChromeOS that allows running Linux containers. Instead, let us finally do something technical and install Arch Linux in Crostini in ChromeOS. I won’t go into too much details here, this might be something for another article. Of course, this does not apply to ChromeOS Flex, because you will lose all Verified Boot capabilities, but it is still a nice test bed for finding out if I would buy a Chromebook in the future. Why ChromeOS? ChromeOS is something that always fascinated me since Lennart Poettering described it as more secure than your typical Linux distribution.

With a short explanation on why I am doing this: If you are reading this, this means you are still here. (Not quite what you expected? Feel free to drop this article :‘D).
