[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.d_opsys:start| Return to Operating Systems ]]

**Chromium OS** is a free and open-source [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os|operating system]] designed for running web applications and browsing the World Wide Web. It is the development version of Chrome OS, a Linux distribution made by Google.

Like Chrome OS, Chromium OS is based on the Linux kernel, but its principal user [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:interface|interface]] is the Chromium web browser rather than the Google Chrome browser. Chromium OS also includes the Portage [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:packagemanager|package manager]], which was originally developed for Gentoo Linux. Because Chromium OS and Chrome OS use a web browser engine for the user interface, they are oriented toward web applications rather than desktop applications or mobile apps.
