What is ThoriumOS?

ChromiumOS fork with Thorium Browser, x264/x265 codecs, Widevine, Kernel 5.15, Linux Firmware/Modules support, Nouveau, Intel/AMD microcode, and extra packages. SYNOPSIS: ThoriumOS aims to be the ChromiumOS counterpart to Thorium. It is based on tip-o-tree, and contains the compiler optimizations of Thorium applied to the whole OS. It contains a variety of extra developer friendly packages, and trys to support as much hardware as possible via kernel configuration, graphics stack configuration, and USE flags.

ThoriumOS uses the Thorium Browser, which I also make for Linux, Windows, MacOS (x64 and M1), and other platforms like the Raspberry Pi > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium

Extra packages include iotop, iotools, sysstat, i2ctools, haveged, telnet, bridge-utils, lm-sensors, pydf, cpuid, htop, sl, custom wallpapers, screenfetch-dev, pak, and TrImLy: a fstrim and e4defrag automator script I made for ChromiumOS.

– NOTE: Please see PACKAGES.md for the full list of extra packages! TrImLy > https://github.com/Alex313031/TrImLy/ ScreenFetch > https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch Pak > https://github.com/myfreeer/chrome-pak-customizer – Sceenfetch is like neofetch for ChromiumOS – Pak can be used to unpack the .pak files used in any Chromium browser. – Also added a script I made called memr to drop all caches, added handy aliases which can be found in the dot-bashrc file, and added good cmdline flags which can be found in the chrome_dev.conf file. – Inspired by and based off of ArnoldTheBat's builds which can be downloaded here > https://arnoldthebat.co.uk/wordpress/ – Also some code from FydeOS > https://github.com/FydeOS – Also some code from NayuOS > https://nayuos.nexedi.com/

Here is Arnold's source code which this project is based on > https://github.com/arnoldthebat/chromiumos - if you don't know how to work with these overlays, I invite you to learn, but one can just download the premade image in releases.
