Crostini
Running Linux applications on Chrome OS

Note: WE ARE MEETING AT TWO SIGMA!! We'll need names, & you will need IDs. RSVP will open Wednesday July 4th, 2018, 4:30pm.

Crouton has long been an option for running Linux applications on Chromebooks. However, it lacked UX integration & required the device to be in dev-mode, which meant that many of the security benefits of Chrome OS were lost.

Crostini brings Linux applications to Chrome OS with proper UX integration & all security benefits intact.

This presentation will provide an overview of Crostini, & a detailed description of the Chrome OS graphics stack in order to explain how the Crostini UX integration has been accomplished. It will also provide useful tips for how to help make applications work better on Chrome OS, & how to make the most of a Chromebook as a Linux development device.

Afterwards:

Join us afterwards at the Cupping Room Cafe where we'll continue the discussion over drinks and/or food. The Cupping Room Cafe is located at 359 W Broadway, two blocks from the venue.
