I wanted to try chrome os a month or so back with android and linux support enabled but had hell of a time. Google seems to be very restrictive on where they get to run with all goodies. Google chromebook partners weren't even allowing experimental features to be tried on their platform so had to pick an Intel NUC to have the freedom.

It all worked out fine with fyde os(chrome os flavor by a chinese company recently acquired by neverware) but with some tinkering to reset language to English and to disable fyde os sync/login with google.

I have stopped using chrome due to privacy concerns and would never use chrome os with a google login. It was just an engineers itch to see how i can break free from restrictive hardware platform and get it working.
