Installing Chromium OS on Chromebook Issue

[Eddie_Paul_Litz]

I was trying to install Chromium OS on my Chromebook but it told me specify device myself. What device do I type in?

Sorry but I’ve never installed chromium, but this video looks pretty informative

I just wonder why you’d want to do this.

Google Chrome OS includes some binary packages which are not allowed to be included in the Chromium OS project. A non-exhaustive list:
Adobe Flash
Widevine CDM plugin (to support HTML5 EME)
3G Cellular support (but work is on going to address this)
DisplayLink Manager for video over USB (some systems)

Google Chrome ships with its own set of API keys while Chromium does not include any
Users are expected to set up their own
