ChromeOS Runs Linux Apps Inside Secure, Isolated Containers

Rather than running Linux apps directly on the main system, ChromeOS uses a virtualized Linux environment (Crostini). This means Linux applications operate inside a sandboxed container that is separated from the core OS. Even if a Linux app crashes or is compromised, it cannot affect ChromeOS itself. This architecture allows developers and power users to use tools like Python, Git, Docker, and IDEs while keeping the system lightweight and secure.
