Since Neverware purchased FlintOS, the likelihood of FlintOS Cockpit becoming reality is probably a slim chance. &nbsp;Neverware has a Cloudready license model however their hardware compatibility list does not include Single Board Computers. &nbsp;Smart move buying an open source company in order to keep their business model viable.

Looks like Chromebit is the best option unless we move to PiNET with a group of Raspberry Pi's. &nbsp;That link to FlintOS Cockpit details information with no further development due to FlintOS company buyout.

FlintOS on ASUS Tinker Board provides a good ChromeOS experience however we have run into a brick wall hoping to enroll as a device on Google Management Console (G-Suite). &quot;Oops! The system failed to determine device model or serial number&quot; is the message we get. The environment is K12 school district where budget constraints are always present. Single Board Computers could be an alternative to Chromebooks if they can be centrally managed. &nbsp;If not Google Management Console (G-Suite) then something else?

Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed to work with web applications and installed applications. Initially, Chrome OS was almost a pure web thin client operating system, with only a handful of "native" applications, but Google gradually began encouraging developers to create "packaged applications", some of which can work offline. App Runtime for Chrome (beta) enables Android applications to run on Chrome OS. Chrome OS is built upon the open source project called Chromium OS which, unlike Chrome OS, can be compiled from the downloaded source code; Chrome OS is the commercial version installed on specific hardware.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
