If you don't like using Chromebooks, the same scheme is used for
Google's Container Optimized OS (intended for use in cloud VM's
running docker images):

    Container-Optimized OS is an operating system image for your
    Compute Engine VMs that is optimized for running Docker
    containers. With Container-Optimized OS, you can bring up your
    Docker containers on Google Cloud Platform quickly, efficiently,
    and securely. Container-Optimized OS is maintained by Google and
    is based on the open source Chromium OS project.
