This question says that it's possible to install Chrome OS as a desktop environment to Ubuntu but it's only available for 64bit PCs. Would it work on my 32bit PC? I just want to try it. It doesn't need to be perfect. What are the limitations of such an installation?

it could not be done with 32-bit processor. Just get a cheap 64-bit processor like AMD atlon x2 64 – grepmaster Nov 21 '15 at 07:59

fix issues by
Google-chrome which is needed to run this build of chromium os must share some features, including sandbox(a hunch). Open Nautilus using sudo power. Browse to filesystem to /opt , there are two folders of our concern chromeos and google. Open google in new tab copy all the contents of /opt/google/chrome folder and paste into /opt/chromeos. nautilus will give you the folder and file conflict notification. MERGE FOLDER BUT SKIP FILES.It will only copy missing files. Now you have chrome-sandbox in chromeos. Now exit and remove the line "--disable-setuid-sandbox /" in chromeos file located in usr/sbin/chromeos if you have edited before. Delete Chrome-os folder in home and start a fresh copy typing chromeos in terminal.

5How exactly do you intend to install 64-bit Ubuntu on a 32-bit computer? – Aaron Franke May 04 '15 at 02:15

1Installing 64bit software on a 32 bit system will seriously mess it up. – Star OS Dec 24 '15 at 09:05

Your solution to installing the Chrome OS DE on a 32 Bit system is installing a 64 Bit system. Nice. – Paul Dec 10 '19 at 07:43
