This is a follow-up, about my post a few days ago that I had purchased a real computer running Chrome OS. It is actually running Chromium OS.
My goal is to someday get Fedora running in a virtual window on my ACER 24 Chromebase computer.
The Linux Beta feature that is so easily activated is apparently something called "cros-termina."
cros-termina - Version: 13099.48.0 is my current version, which I think has an available update.
I do not yet have any idea how to add Fedora either to replace Debian or to in some sort of other option.
I think most users would not want to run several distros, as the virtual machine is so slow and so small.
To add to my confusion, I have almost zero experience with virtual computing - maybe none, unless you count briefly looking at a new iso of a distro in Gnome Boxes.
For anyone interested Chromium OS has 14 visible components. You can view the names of those components on your Chromium device, by typing, "chrome://components."
Some of mine are: ME Preload, Legacy TLS Deprecation Configuration, Adobe Flash Player, Intervention Policy Database [ email me if you want the others ]
I got into this accidentally, and have not followed previous internet news stories about this topic, nor yet seen any videos on YouTube.
But I am super duper impressed so far. I hope my future emails to you will be coming from the Linux-virtual-machine on this device and hopefully eventually with Fedora.

"a real computer running Chrome OS"
This could be an existential crisis for Linux|
Dose this imply that our Fedora Systems aren't real?
Would it not be easier to just run one of a synthetic
Fedora, or CentOS release directly?

Sorry for the wording.
I meant, not a toy Chromebook, nor a Pixelbook, nor a Slate tablet, nor Android device.
but a dual-core CPU with larger monitor and SSD, and internal components similar to a $ 400 PC from two or three years ago.
This would have been good for Fedora if the default virtual OS had been Fedora - instead of Debian.
I am not a Google fan-boy.
