Very nice to run in Virtualbox. Late 2016 I had had a look at tehh Ubuntu based Chromixium, but why would I want to give-up a rolling distro to implement a chromebook lookalike? I happened to see ob-session in late 2016 nd tried it. Installing required using gpg-keys to update it. So installation is a bit complex, but after that: it runs brilliantly with little memory in Virtualbox. It would be possible to intsall more arch-software. But I see its main strength as a reliable, fast core of chromium-like functionality that allows updating/patching. I hope someone combines the ease of, for example, manjaro, with this approach to create a maintainable cloud-client that can be expanded with more linux on bigger hardware.

Awesome man! I was planning on doing this myself. Happy I found this,don't have to now. But is this distro ready to go? The Iso is up but on the live session can't log in. what's the password? Update 1. Oh man I see you have a Video For This and just how to install it. Dunno if you can link it in your info page. Will Follow it and test the os out for a couple of days. See how it Goes/Behaves. Thanx again for taking the time to complie this os.
