Ask HN: How do you run Chromium OS or simulate a Chromebook in a VM?

Hi,

We tried many Internet resources to run our own Chromium OS but none of them worked. I can't imagine that setting up your own Chromebook is so difficult and follow the Apple mantra about buying specific hardware instead of running it on a VM.

Do you know how to (quickly) setup your own Chromium OS without buying a Chromebook? How do you test Chromebook Apps?

Thanks, wslh

Have you tried it? We tried with the Hexxeh references and they don't work.

This sounds like something to ask on the official mailing list, where you have domain experts.
