ChromeOS Linux Basics

Shutting Down Linux

It is possible to shut down your Linux environment when not in use by simply right-clicking on the Terminal Application and selecting "Shut Down Linux". Shutting down your Linux environment when not in use will help to extend your battery life and may improve performance in Android Applications and Web-Based Applications on memory constrained models.

GPU Acceleration Support

Most ChromeOS Devices released after 2023 has GPU acceleration support via virt-io GPU pass-through. This will allow you to use your ChromeOS Device's Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) to perform actions that use the GPU such as compute, machine learning, graphic rendering, video rendering and even some gaming.
