Run Firefox on ChromeOS

Rabbit hole indeed. That wasn't related to my job at the time, lol. The job change came with a company-provided computer and that put an end to the tinkering.

BTW, I found my hacks to make runc run on Chromebook: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/compare/main...gabrys...

I think that's not unlike what ChromeOS is trying to be? With the APIs like WebSerial and WebUSB enabling web apps to do the same things native apps could for years now. (Of course, you can use these in the standalone Chromium, too.)

> an OS with just Firefox would really make everything simpler

It's relatively easy to build a Linux distro that boots straight into Firefox! You can try Cubic, which allows you to create a custom ISO for Debian or Ubuntu with a pretty straightforward GUI wizard. I once used it to create an ISO for an arcade machine.

  Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.

> (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps)

I would recommend using Waydroid[1]. It runs fairly well in my use case, and runs LineageOS on top of it with the full LineageOS GUI.
