Google is trying hard to market Chromebooks as efficient productivity machines, but the severely limited software environment of Chrome OS makes them not the first choice for developers and power users. yeah.
However, a commit found on Chromium Gerrit suggests that that may change soon. Chrome OS may soon offer users support for running Linux applications through container tools without having to fiddle with developer settings or use hacking tools.
Chromium Gerrit’s commit states: “New device policy to allow Linux VMs on Chrome OS.” If the policy is not set or set to true, Linux VMs are allowed to run on Chrome OS. Allowing unconfiguration means that unmanaged devices are allowed. Currently, to run a Linux VM, you must also enable Finch experiments. After this feature is fully started, the Finch control logic will be removed. ” 
The ability to run Linux apps on Chrome OS (via a Linux virtual machine and Linux as a guest operating system) allows users to run a wide range of popular software on Chromebooks, including GIMP, Libre Office, and more. This new feature is made possible by Project Crostini, a tweaked version of the Crouton tool that allows users to run Linux distributions on Chrome OS. Project Crostini features in the commit “Adds Crostini experiments to field trial testing. This enables Project Crostini to run Linux VMs on Chrome OS for Chromium developer builds.” Revealed by another line.
Additionally, code within the commit’s policy template file suggests that Project Crostini will debut in Chrome OS 66. According to the Chromium development calendar listed on the Chromium.org page , stable builds of Chrome OS 66 are scheduled to be released in April. Further details about Project Crostini may be revealed at the Google I/O event scheduled for May this year.
