Hi, I'm currently using a chromebook and I love the ash/auro interface and performance. But I also hope it is possible to run some non-html apps on it. I currently use the crouton, which opens a xserver and take over the drm/kms for it. It is not stable, due to the wired competition between chromium and xserver on kms and keyboard&mouse.

I went across your blog and this project and found it quite interesting, but it led me think: is it possible to utilize the aura/ash/views UI system on chromeos and implement wayland protocol on top of it? If yes then we can have seamless integration of chromeos and native-linux apps on a unified shell, and everything is hardware accelerated:) But I don't have any idea how complex the aura API is, or how hard to hack chromium to accept external aura clients. Could you tell me a bit more on this? Thx!

You're able to run Wayland clients on CrOS:
