What's the difference between Chromium OS and Google Chrome OS?Google Chrome OS is to Chromium OS what Google Chrome browser is to Chromium.
Chromium OS is the open source project, used primarily by developers, with code that is available for anyone to checkout, modify, and build.
Google Chrome OS is the Google product that OEMs ship on Chromebooks for general consumer use.
Some specific differences:
The two projects fundamentally share the same code base, but Google Chrome OS has some additional firmware features, including verified boot and easy recovery, which require corresponding hardware changes and thus also don't work out of the box in Chromium OS builds.
Google Chrome OS runs on specially optimized hardware in order to get enhanced performance and security.
Chromium OS does not auto-update by default (so that changes you may have made to the code are not blown away), whereas Google Chrome OS seamlessly auto-updates so that users have the latest and greatest features and fixes.
Google Chrome OS is supported by Google and its partners; Chromium OS is supported by the open source community.
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)
Android (ARC++) container for running Android apps
Some components are available in both, but as closed source binary-only blobs. A non-exhaustive list:
Graphics Libraries (e.g. OpenGL) on ARM platforms
Google Chrome ships with its own set of API keys while Chromium does not include any
Users are expected to set up their own
Google Chrome OS has a green/yellow/red logo while Chromium OS has a blue/bluer/bluest logo.

Where can I download Google Chrome OS?Google Chrome OS is not a conventional operating system that you can download or buy on a disc and install. As a consumer, the way you will get Google Chrome OS is by buying a Chromebook that has Google Chrome OS installed by the OEM.

We are working with manufacturers to develop reference hardware for Google Chrome OS.

2. Fyde OSDownload FydeOS | Etcher
FydeOS is based on chromium fork to run on Intel computers. Version 10 is running on Chromium r83 and supports Android Apps. Despite you won't find play store as it was mainly focused on the Chinese market where Google services are banned. Still, you can sideload Android apps or even install the Google Play Store. It is available as a PC and Vmware system image.
Use FydeOS with a Google Account, for that to work registration is required with a FydeOS account.
Games Compatible With Chrome OsYou need FydeOS because.
Runs Chrome Extensions, Android Apps* and Linux Apps* That's epic actually.
Chrome fork with more extra features such as Google Sync.
Linux Kernal is 5.4 (8th, 9th, and 10th gen processor support)
Unlike the older beta version took 10 minutes to boot up, the new version was insanely fast and booted under 20 seconds. This is tested on my HP ENVY laptop with an i7 8th generation processor. Android subsystem and related functionalities are limited to Intel series graphics cards. We are quite impressed to see how it manages to run Linux Apps and Android apps together. That being said you could install Chrome extensions, Android Apps, and Linux Apps, on FydeOS. Being a Chromium OS fork we found that Google's Assistant wasn't working.
*Enable Android and Linux support before sideloading apps.
3. Nerveware's CloudreadyDownload Cloudready | make bootable USB Guide
Nerveware a company, forks the open-source code of Google's Chromium OS and forges Nerveware CloudeReady. It's like Phoenix OS (Modded Android OS with extra functions) but Chrome OS for PC. The changes include additional management features and hardware support. The company's business plan is to sell it directly to schools and businesses that want to use Chrome OS on their existing PCs.
They also offer a free version of CloudReady for home users. Since it's Chromium OS-based, you don't get the functionality to run Android Apps on it; moreover certain multimedia and DRM features may also not work on some websites.
4. ChromefyChromefy is a project to make a Chrome OS image on your computer. Due to limitations, such a website can not ship ready-made images. So what the project requires is a recovery image and custom Chrome OS image (Arnoldthebat) and the special script, When mixed together it will be built a Chrome OS image that you can burn into USB and boot. You might be asking? what's special! is arnoldthebat build arent enough? The answer is simple, Chromefy adds things that other custom Chrome OS forks fail to deliver. The biggest feature is the Android app and maybe Google assistant.
I tried to put my hands in the dirt and was unable to build Chrome Image using this (since I do not know about this topic). If you happen to get it to work, please leave a comment below.
5. CrOS Linux (an exception)It's easy to mistake this as a Chrome OS. It's a Linux based operating system with chromium Browser to give you the look of the Chrome operating system. It is the best of these two Worlds. Since it is running on Linux you can install Linux applications and play with the terminal. In past we have discovered is a similar Linux project Goes by the name Cub Linux but unfortunately, the developer shut down the project after having a copyright dispute with Google. If you have used a Linux operating system before it is easy to get used to it the operating system plays around the chromium web browser.
