Hi all -
I'm looking for affordable ways to deploy large amounts of devices running Beaker Browser. Has anyone tried deploying Beaker Browser to a Chromebook or Windows Tablet? I would love to hear about it!

I did install Beaker on multiple Raspberry Pi.
I had to compile it, then it worked very well on Raspbian.

The windows tablet could work if it's not the old windows RT that only allows windows store apps.

I would love beaker on chromeOS, but it's a lot of work to port it there and I'm not even sure it's possible.  It would at a minimum be a rewrite of most the codebase since you can't use electron or node.js on chrome apps.

I heard some chromeos devices can now run desktop linux software without using the weird chroot trick so that might be an option, but it will be a bit of work and probably less supported by google.
