Overview of this book

Google's ChromeOS provides a great platform for technicians, system administrators, developers, and casual users alike, providing a seemingly simplistic architecture that is easy enough for a novice user to begin working with. However, beneath the surface, this operating system boasts a plethora of powerful tools, able to rival any other OS on the market. So, learning how to harness the full potential of the OS is critical for you as a technical worker and user to thrive at your workplace. ChromeOS System Administrator’s Guide will help you reap the benefits of all features of ChromeOS. This book explains ChromeOS’ unique architecture and its built-in tools that perform essential tasks such as managing user accounts, working with data, and launching applications. As you build your foundational knowledge of the OS, you'll be exposed to higher-level concepts such as security, command line, and enterprise management. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to perform a range of system administration tasks within ChromeOS without requiring an alternative operating system, thereby broadening your options as a technician, system administrator, developer, or engineer.

Google Play Store

Google Play is Google’s premier app store. It was originally designed to provide apps for use with Google’s popular Android operating systems. However, with the transition away from browser-dependent Chrome apps and toward the progressive web app design of Google apps, the Google Play Store has become the go-to tool for adding more apps to the ChromeOS device. With over 2 million apps and more being added every day, there’s no doubt that the Google Play Store has the app you need.

ChromeOS is able to take advantage of Google Play Store apps because both operating systems are derived from the Linux operating system. This common lineage has ensured that ChromeOS has the right code running behind the scenes to support Android apps. That being said, there are a few minor tweaks you’ll need to perform before you can begin downloading your Google Play Store apps.

Follow these steps, and you’ll be ready to play in no time!
