How the system was implemented under the hood is still not clear to me. What Google is selling as Linux is by no means real Linux. "Linux (Beta)" is not the Linux you are looking for Because it is not the command line of your Chromebook itself.
However, access to the Chromebook itself is restricted.
There you can run UNIX commands and install tools with the package management system APT, known from Debian derivatives like Ubuntu, and customize your shell.Īll Linux apps are located in a common sandbox, so they can communicate with each other unhindered.
