About

Cr OS Linux, also known as Cros Linux, is a free and open-source operating system established around 2008, with its domain http://getchrome.eu existing since that year. It is built upon OpenSUSE and uniquely centered around the Chromium browser, serving as the foundation for Google Chrome, and is often referred to as the 'chrome plated OS' due to its stability and polished appearance. The project explicitly clarifies that it is not Google's Chrome OS, but rather an older, independent Linux distribution. While specific revenue figures, leadership, or employee counts are not provided, its free and open-source nature suggests a community-driven model. Cr OS Linux offers a platform for Linux users, supports Google Chrome Extensions, and allows users to suggest and vote on new features, positioning itself as a distinct alternative in the operating system market, implicitly competing with Google's Chrome OS and other Linux distributions.
