I don't think any of the current application commonly known as "linux desktop apps" would be able to run on Chrome OS.That is because the application you know and you use are based over GNU operating system ( which is based on Linux kernel ). Even if Google Chrome OS is based on Linux Kernel it doesn't mean it will be compatible with GNU.
GTK and Debian Packaging system will probably be ported to. Otherwise it would be just another GNU/Linux distribution with Google Chrome installed by default, don't you think?:D Daniele On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 10:45 PM, Bob CFC <[email protected]>wrote: > I am excited that they chose GTK.
