Does literally nobody at Google want people to download their spyware distro?

You're completely retarded. Google makes the source code to Chromium OS public so anybody can download it. If you want to run ChromeOS on something that isn't a Chromebook, you have to compile it yourself. That's just how it works.

That's not how it works in any other Linux distro I've tried.
>>53587762
So Chrome OS is unlike other Linux distros you've tried then..?
>>53587762
ChromeOS isn't any other Linux distro. Chromebooks have a special BIOS (or EFI, dunno which) that ChromeOS requires. ChromiumOS can be run on normal hardware though.

It's how it works with Android, which is the closest Linux distribution to ChromeOS in terms of how it's handled.
Google doesn't really care if you use their software or not.
>Google Chrome OS is not a conventional operating system that you can download or buy on a disc and install. As a consumer, the way you will get Google Chrome OS is by buying a Chromebook that has Google Chrome OS installed by the OEM.

It'll help to stop thinking of it in terms of being another Linux distro, but in terms of being a custom OS that uses the Linux kernel.

Do you even adblock you casual?
ChromeOS is native only to chromebooks and requires specific hardware and firmware. ChromiumOS which can be found on the Chromium Projects can be used on pretty much anything.
Even better, install something like Papyros or Gallium if you want a more full linux experience.
