It will use a Chromium OS distro called Fyde, that you can download here:

https://fydeos.com/download

It is a chinese Chromium OS and it will force you to use it on chinese, but I will show you how to change to english and enable Android/Linux support.

Download the img and use the program Echter (https://etcher.io/) to deploy it on an USB stick (it won't work with dual boot, just warning. You will have to change it to default boot). You can also use Rufus and other software like that, but didn't try them.

------ [Optional] Installing on a HDD

For those who want to install it on a HDD.

• • Boot FydeOS for PC via USB disk

  • After the graphical interface of the FydeOS appears, press Ctrl+Alt+F2 keyboard (or Fn+Ctrl+Alt+F2 on Mac), to switch to command line mode.

  • Put the username "chronos" and the same "chronos" for the password

  • Enter the command "lsblk" and press Enter

  • Search for the physical disk. It will probably be displayed as sd x . You can also determine by the size of the disk space and the number of partitions. The following command will take "sda" as the label.

  • Enter the following command: "sudo /usr/sbin/chromeos-install --dst /dev/sda"

  • The installation script will ask if you want to continue and prompt that the target disk will be emptied. If you are sure, enter Y and press Enter to confirm.

  • Restart your pc after the installation

------ Screenshots:

I will add some when I find how to do it

------ Initial setup

• • After flashing on the drive, you can boot the OS.

  • Follow the initial setup and then you will have to create a user to access the chrome os on the computer.

  • Now you will have to make some changes to use the OS in english

------ Changing the language and activating android support

The OS is locked on chinese by default (you can't change in the settings by now), but you can remove this limitation. Just follow the steps:

• • Open Chrome

  • Press Ctrl+Alt+T and it will open Crosh

  • On crosh type "shell" and press enter

  • Type "sudo su" and press enter

  • The password is "chronos" (it won't show up, but type it and press enter)

Type the following commmands:

• • "sudo mount -o remount rw /" and press Enter

  • "cd etc" and press enter

  • "vim chrome_dev.conf" and press enter

Press 'Page Down' to get to the end of the file and then delete the lines that have zh-CN.

After that, the last line must be "--arc-start-mode=always-start", so change to it if you need

Type ":wq!" and press enter

Restart your computer

Now you can change the language on the settings

On settings, click on the left bar with 3 lines and you will see an option with a down arrow, click on it and then click on the 4th option below (a circle with some lines). It will jump to the language settings, so don't move your scroll or your screen. Click on the first option and it will open a list. One of the last options is a blue text, click on it and then search for "english", select your favourite english (US, UK, etc) and then click on the blue button to add it. Now you need to use it as default, to do so, you will have to. If you rest your cursor on any of the options of the list, it will show the language. Do this until you find the English. Click on the 3 dots on the right and mark the first checkbox to select the english as your language. Restart your computer.

-------- To install Linux support

• • Open Chrome

  • Open a New Incognito Windows

  • Type "chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-crostini-ui" and enable the flag

  • Chrome will ask to restart to take effect

  • Open up Chrome OS’s Settings menu (from the apps)

  • Search for "Linux" and you should see a "Linux(beta)" section.

  • Open this and click the Turn on option

  • Now, install the Linux (Beta) and confirm (it will take a large amount of time to install)

  • You now have the Terminal

-------- Some observations:

• • I recommend installing on a USB first and then trying to learn all the steps before committing to install at your drive

  • I am not responsible for any damage made to your computer by you or by your dog

  • If you have any questions, ask here that I will try to answer then

  • I am using it for 2 days on a USB stick and it is working flawlessly on the main os (with some minor bugs on the android compatibility).

  • I've also installed on a i5 skylake and it worked as a charm

  • I tried on a Atom processor and it didn't work
