ThoriumOS is an experimental Chromium OS fork maintained by the creator of the Thorium web browser. It is focused on optimizing Chrome OS for performance, developer control, and flexibility, especially on legacy or non-Google hardware. ThoriumOS provides a fast and lightweight desktop environment centered around the Chromium browser, aiming to give users a secure, privacy-respecting, and efficient alternative operating system. The project builds on Chromium OS's open-source base while stripping unnecessary components and adding user-requested features.
