Chrome OS

Chrome OS is an operating system developed by Google, designed primarily for use on Chromebook devices. It is based on the Linux kernel and is centered around the Google Chrome web browser, providing a simplified user interface focused on web applications and cloud computing. Chrome OS is characterized by its speed, security, and ease of use, often featuring automatic updates and built-in virus protection. The operating system relies heavily on internet connectivity, as most applications and data are stored in the cloud rather than locally on the device. Chrome OS supports Android apps and, in some cases, Linux applications, expanding its functionality beyond web-based tasks. It is primarily used in educational and enterprise environments due to its lightweight nature and ability to manage multiple user accounts efficiently.
