![]() ![]() Why? It's as if they want Chrome OS to run on server, not on user desktop. However, they use containers inside Crostini to run individual Linux processes. ![]() I now understand that Crostini is a KVM inspired light VM, but there is no doubt it is a VM, not a container. I had a quick look through the presentation. ![]() See this presentation at FOSDEM for more details. Crostini runs a full-blown system, including a guest kernel. Docker runs a single isolated process, but still on the host kernel. Quoting: Linas Quoting: Grim85 Quoting: RoosterI would be interested to know, why don't they use a Docker-like container instead of VM? Seems to me like quite a big waste of resources to use a full fledged VM.It is more akin to a docker container than a VMWell, depends on the definition of a container. Once we hear any more on it we will let you know. The question is: why is that relevant to Linux and Linux gaming overall? Well, Chromebooks run Chrome OS which is…Linux under the Google branded hood. The version of Steam they will get is the Linux version, so they will be adding directly to the numbers of Linux users already on Steam. With more Chromebooks coming out through 2021 that will feature more powerful processors both from Intel and AMD (not ARM), backed up by more powerful graphics - this will open them up to some more gaming. I set Borealis.Stability to for this reason. I'd bump these a bit we'll want them in place for at least a few months into Soft Launch, which is currently slated for no earlier than Q2/Q3 2021. From the new info uncovered, what's been found even mentions a "Soft Launch": Last we heard, Borealis itself was based on Ubuntu too. I should note though, that Borealis isn't just about Steam but appears to be some wider Linux push for Chrome OS to get more working on it. The new report comes from Chrome Unboxed, who noticed some interesting commits landing talking about project Borealis, which appears to be the code name for this huge project which includes running Steam. This is something we've talked about before, and again and now it appears to be moving a bit quicker. In a move that might help boost Linux gaming numbers, it seems Google are still moving forward with their plan to get Steam running properly native on Chrome OS during 2021. ![]()
