Sidetrack: ChromeOS Flex... on a Virtual Machine... with Single GPU Passthrough...

the prospect of running ChromeOS on anything more powerful than a microwave oven is unfathomably cursed - wheezus2000 on discord

So... where do we start here... *checks notes* ah! So yeah, last Sunday I showcased a virtual machine running ChromeOS Flex (the most barebones GUI your grandma can only recognize) over to the aptly named r/ChromeOSFlex subreddit. It was a lot of work but it does work somehow.

Anyways, here's a tutorial to get this abomination up and running using virt-manager!

Prerequisites:

You will need:

ChromeOS Flex Recovery Image

A decent hard drive space (around 24GB is enough)

A nice dedicated GPU (because I'm not sure if it'll work with an iGPU)

more than 4GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended)

IOMMU support

Lots of patience (you'll see why in a moment)

On the software side, you'll need:

KVM and QEMU

libvirtd and virt-manager

GRUB or any bootloader already set-up for GPU passthrough

On the skills necessary:

Having familiarized with the concept of Linux, and basic command line stuff

Having followed instructions precisely

Potentially, having skills in compiling software and/or fiddling with the operating system and the Linux kernel as well

and... not having an attention span of a script kiddie

Process

Visit this link to download the recovery image from Google.

Scroll down to this part of the page. Click on "ChromeOS Flex installer image".

This would then be downloaded.

After that, unzip the file to a convenient place. This would take ~6GB of storage space.

Install the software prerequisites using your favorite package manager.

Once having virt-manager installed, click on the new button.

From there, select "Import existing disk image".

Click on Browse. Then select "Browse Local" to find the recovery image.

In my case, that'll be in the folder called vmdk, stored in my os folder on one of my hard drives. Select the "chromeos_*_reven_recovery..." file.

In the "Choose the operating system you are installing" prompt, select linux2022.

In the memory tab, pick 4096MiB and select how many cores you want to be assigned.

You must select "Customize configuration before install" as we tweak some things.

In the prompt that follows, here's what you need to change:

Firmware: BIOS -> UEFI

Disk: VirtIO -> USB

Video: Anything else -> VirtIO

Now add a virtual hard drive by clicking the "Add Hardware" button. It should be 20GB or larger, SATA bus. VirtIO bus doesn't work as it wouldn't be recognized.

Remove any Consoles, RNG and start the install.

Here's the configuration if you follow these steps:

After starting, you can now follow the steps in installing ChromeOS Flex. It should be straightforward, however the graphics are still glitchy as it seems. It'll be fixed once we added our dGPU.

However, ChromeOS at boot will, and definitely (in my case) crash and bootloop a couple times, even when installed, before landing you to the desktop.

If for some reason, the USB tablet device doesn't work or if you prefer a cursor, switch the USB tablet for a PS/2 or USB mouse.

Once installed, you can see your desktop glitching. If you, somehow can navigate the system, you can now turn it off and set up Single GPU Passthrough. I used this one by risingprismtv. Follow the instructions provided in the wiki, and apply it to your VM. This can (and will) be complicated (especially when dealing with IOMMU groups), as it may break your setup, so please proceed with caution. Any issues with the script can be reported through their Discord server.

After setting the scripts, this is my current VM setup:

Now it's time to boot the VM, and voila! You can now use ChromeOS Flex while staying under Linux!

Predicaments, and possible issues

No, it does not work under Windows, well, without complications apparently.

Possible VM bootloops, just like I said. Seems related to the graphics, I presume. Though, this only happens multiple times, before working normally.

You can't update the VM, apparently.

Screenshots

And as always, see ya later!
