Restricting user apps/code and allowing web-only access for security, performance, management are the philosophy of Chromium OS. Thus, it is not suitable for multi-purpose/applications like traditional OS.

  • Development

Users must modify & build the source code themselves since there is no official binary/deployment version of open-source Chromium OS. Kernel modifications, feature additions, and license inspections require advanced development skills and time.

  • HW compatibility

Chromium OS is not well compatible with general PC HW. Redeveloped versions of Chromium OS have better compatibility but are still imperfect. Thus, testing before deployment is required, as the issues are mostly due to several GPUs wireless LAN cards, I/O devices.
