crouton is an open-source set of scripts designed to enable Linux distributions to run alongside Chrome OS on Chromebooks by using a chroot environment that shares the same Linux kernel as the host system. Instead of dual-booting or virtualization, the project installs a Linux system inside a chroot, allowing users to switch quickly between Chrome OS and a full Linux desktop while maintaining performance and compatibility. This approach allows developers, system administrators, and power users to access traditional Linux tools and desktop environments on hardware originally intended to run only Chrome OS.
