Yet, there are still times when a native app is better, or even required, to get the job done. My weekly podcast and videos are perfect examples, although I have found a number of web app options to test out for content creation.<\/p>\n<p>As I noted last week, the Pixel has more flexibility than you might think because <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2013\/02\/26\/3-alternatives-to-chrome-os-on-googles-chromebook-pixel\/\">there are a number of ways to run Linux on the laptop<\/a>. I opted to install and use crouton, a set of scripts that set up the Pixel to run Chrome OS and Linux at the same time. Here&#8217;s how it looks and works after the setup; you can <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dnschneid\/crouton\">get the crouton setup steps at this link<\/a> so I don&#8217;t show those on camera:<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video\">\n<div id=\"ooyala-video_16f12ded99284be99c7134f1c2ffa74b\" class=\"video-player ooyala-video\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\">\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2013\/03\/05\/video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ak.c.ooyala.com\/t5a2Z3OTolDOPLSZO57PU7ZoorRvRmp5\/5SPjETdNCPS-ZANX4xMDoxOm9pOxdxOC\" alt=\"Ooyala Video Thumbnail\" \/><\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2013\/03\/05\/video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously\/\">Watch this video for free<\/a> on <a href='http:\/\/gigaom.com\/'>GigaOM<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The one-time setup was simple and now all I need to get Linux up and running is a quick set of commands in a terminal. Then it&#8217;s just a matter of switching between Chrome OS and Linux as needed. You can see in the video that the same app I use on a Mac for my weekly podcast, Audacity, runs just fine so I&#8217;ve got the podcast issue licked. And I&#8217;m going to test some video apps for occasional use as well.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if you want to run Skype on the Pixel, you can do that to with this method: Check out how I stay on a video call while switching back to Chrome OS to check something on the web!<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=gigaom.com&#038;blog=14960843&#038;%23038;post=617010&#038;%23038;subd=gigaom2&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=309\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=309\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research and analysis from GigaOM Pro:<\/strong><br \/>Subscriber content. <a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/?utm_source=mobile&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=617010+video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously&#038;utm_content=kevintofel\">Sign up for a free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2009\/12\/the-state-of-the-smartbook\/?utm_source=mobile&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=617010+video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously&#038;utm_content=kevintofel\">The State of the Smartbook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2009\/08\/life-after-chrome-whats-next-for-android\/?utm_source=mobile&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=617010+video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously&#038;utm_content=kevintofel\">Life After Chrome: What&#8217;s Next for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2009\/07\/google-chrome-os-more-and-better-web-apps-on-their-way\/?utm_source=mobile&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=617010+video-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously&#038;utm_content=kevintofel\">Google Chrome OS: More and Better Web Apps on The Way?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img width='1' height='1' src='http:\/\/gigaom.feedsportal.com\/c\/34996\/f\/646446\/s\/293dcbf5\/mf.gif' border='0'\/><\/p>\n<div class='mf-viral'>\n<table border='0'>\n<tr>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/share.feedsportal.com\/viral\/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&#038;title=Video%3A+Chromebook+Pixel+running+Chrome+OS+and+Linux+simultaneously&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F03%2F05%2Fvideo-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/emailthis2.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/res.feedsportal.com\/viral\/bookmark.cfm?title=Video%3A+Chromebook+Pixel+running+Chrome+OS+and+Linux+simultaneously&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F03%2F05%2Fvideo-chromebook-pixel-running-chrome-os-and-linux-simultaneously%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/bookmark.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490356416\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/293dcbf5\/a2.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490356416\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/293dcbf5\/a2.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/pi.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490356416\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/293dcbf5\/a2t.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=4rM2m3e5aP8:jYMuaI16L6g:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~4\/4rM2m3e5aP8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My daily use of Google&#8217;s Chromebook Pixel is working out like a charm\u00a0for what I do, nearly all of which is web-based.
