Background

2018, Google launched an incedible effort on Chrome OS to make Linux apps available to install and use, called Crosinit.

Instead though, the Chrome team decided to create a virtual machine (or VM) to run Debian (a Linux distribution) and integrate that VM with the Chrome OS “host.” While they could have used existing virtual machine tech from the likes of QEMU or VirtualBox, they thought it better to create specialized tools from scratch, called “crosvm” and “Termina”.

Another effort, aptly named ARCVM (short for ARC Virtual Machine), from the bits of evidence available, seems poised to take advantage of the work done on the Crostini project by running Android through the same Termina VM. By moving to a virtual machine, Chrome OS’s Android support will be able to take advantage of the same security features, and the ability to easily reset should anything go wrong.
