Update – This is a fan made build of Chrome OS and not the official build by Google. According to TechCrunch, The official Google Chrome OS is expected to be Launched within a week.
All the unofficial releases have been confirmed as fake till now. We need to wait for its official release or a better leak from google.
Try Ubuntu first. Is Google Chrome really Open Source? How much access does Chrome give to users? Google Chrome is really all smoke and mirrors, just another Linux distribution built on top of the popular free Linux system called Ubuntu.
If you need power tools, access to the source code, Ubuntu is not only Open Source, it is genuinely Free with no hidden costs, no annoying popups like Google Adsense and with complete privacy and GPG security you will never have to worry about a large corporation accessing your personal data.
LOVE – LIVE – UBUNTU
