Geek Software of the Week: Neverware’s CloudReady!
Turn your old computer into a Chrome device! This sounds like fun!
Broad Hardware Support
“Support for almost any computer, with dead-simple installation.
Streamlined Performance
Lightweight install, great performance & automatic updates on machines up to 8 years old.
Linux, Like Never Before
With industry leading design and Google’s cloud services, CloudReady raises the bar.
Broad Hardware Compatibility
Chromium was designed to run only on specific Chromebook hardware. CloudReady makes it run on virtually any machine by providing a single installer image with broad driver support and compatibility fixes.
We’re constantly improving CloudReadys support for all the most common graphics, wifi, trackpad, and even hot-key functionality. It’s easy to install CloudReady and start using it right away. No headaches; no configuration, no expertise needed.
Streamlined Performance
CloudReady only runs one thing: a browser. This makes for a bloat-proof and lightweight OS that can keep machines up to 8 years old fast and responsive.
You don’t need to get a new machine to experience a market-leading OS or get reliable performance. CloudReady works on the computers you already have and lets cloud-services do the heavy lifting.
Linux, Like Never Before
You don’t have to settle if you want a headache-free Linux distribution. CloudReady is an alternative to other Linux distributions that gives you a clean, modern, and unobtrusive desktop.
Integrated throughout the OS is the full potential of Google’s cloud services, from Drive to Docs. Your settings, apps, and files follow you to any machine, and everything else gets out of the way.”
