What is CloudReady?
What is CloudReady? CloudReady is a operating system built and maintained by Neverware. Based on Google’s open source Chromium OS, CloudReady uses web apps and cloud storage instead of traditional software and local storage. If you are just getting started with Chromebooks, start here!
How are CloudReady and Chromebooks different? Both CloudReady and Chrome OS are based on the open-source Chromium OS. This is why these two OS’s work so similarly, though they are not the same. CloudReady is designed to be installed on existing PC and Mac hardware, whereas ChromeOS can only be found on official Chrome devices. A few other differences apply - for a full technical comparison of CloudReady and Chromebooks, click here.
Why should I use CloudReady? Accelerating Adoption: If you’re already buying Chromebooks, chances are you have Windows computers left over from before you made the switch. CloudReady can convert those legacy machines so that your entire fleet can be unified under the Google Google Admin Console. Reviving Aging Machines: Over time, even the best PCs slow down. CloudReady replaces their aging operating systems and heavy local apps with something speedy and lightweight that won’t slow down over time. Risk Free Exploration: Adopting any new technology always carries risks and uncertainties. CloudReady lets you experience the Google platform with no risk, no cost, and no need to get approval for hardware. Just download, install, and see for yourself.
CloudReady comes without Android phone and app integration, including Google Play Services. Comes with integrated Linux (Beta) (based on Debian) support via built-in virtualization.
Comments and Reviews
It is a free and accessible alternative Chrome/Chromium OS with a convenient setup. No support for Android phone+apps, including Google Play Services. Comes with a built-in Linux (Beta) based on Debian stable via an integrated virtualization. HOME edition is available completely for free and has many automated benefits on Google Chrome (OS) itself. I can only recommend it, especially for SENIORS and people with DISABILITIES.
Very Good alternative of ChromeOs but not support android app FlydeOS support android and base Chromium too
FlydeOS is not really easy to set-up. Especially because of the Chinese language only. It is not recommended for a westerner.
