I want to see how it is to hi a on Chrome OS for a week, so how can I install a fairly up to date Chrome system on my hardware? I know it may not be supported, so is there projects that work like it with similar UI? Also what kernel is Chrome running on?

The answer is Chromium OS! It's an open-source Gentoo Linux derivative and Chrome OSs base.
The kernel for both Chrome OS and Chromium OS is Linux.
Chromium OS uses the Linux Kernel. Historically we stayed on a 2.6.32 Ubuntu-based for the first several releases, but have since then moved on to track the upstream mainline kernel directly, applying our changes for the features and stability we need on top of it.

So it looks like they're using Linux 3.13.
- But what version?? 3.10 I knew it was Linux sorry I worded it wrongXDroidie626– XDroidie6262014-04-02 19:26:28 +00:00Commented Apr 2, 2014 at 19:26
