Microsoft isn't the only one adding Linux support to its app portfolio. Google has decided to do the same with Chrome OS , recently integrating Linux apps via Crostini into select Chromebooks .
In the latest developer version, Google added a new crucial feature, which aims to make it easier to transfer your data from day to day with the support of Crostini backup.
With Crostini Backup, Chrome OS can now back up all the data from your Linux files to separate tar . gz files , which can be placed in the cloud or a USB stick and transferred . If necessary, you can restore it from the Settings app when buying a new computer.
One of the biggest advantages of Chrome OS is its portability – especially when it comes to your files and data. A user can wipe one device and boot into another within minutes. While the addition of Android and Linux has slowed this process somewhat, Google is working feverishly to get the speed back to where it was meant to be.
