GalliumOS is a Linux distribution which has been carefully optimized for performance and compatibility on Chromebooks and Chromeboxes.

Our goal is to outperform ChromeOS on the same hardware, while delivering a full Linux environment.

Beta 1 has been released. Recent nightly builds are stable and will update properly to betas and releases as they become available.
