Despite its geeky reputation, Linux is actually used for a variety of everyday purposes, even in the enterprise.
Linux, for the uninitiated, is a free and open-source operating system (well, technically a series of operating systems) adored by developers, privacy advocates, and plenty of other technically inclined hominids. And if all of that isn't enough, many models now have the ability to run Linux apps as well. On the enterprise front, some Chromebooks will soon be able to support Windows apps. Contemporary Chromebooks still run all the standard web-based stuff, of course, but they're also capable of connecting to Google's entire Play Store and running almost any Android app imaginable.
The software that started out as a strictly web-centric entity - with everything revolving around the Chrome browser and apps that could operate inside it - has evolved into one of modern computing's most versatile operating systems.
Google's Chrome OS platform sure isn't what it used to be.
