ChromeOS Flex
ChromeOS Flex is Google's ChromeOS build for ordinary PCs and Macs, aimed at giving old hardware a second life as a managed, fast-booting web terminal. This creates a VM from Google's official recovery image, verified against the sha1 Google publishes alongside it.

Notes
Google does not support ChromeOS Flex in a virtual machine. It runs, but it is not a configuration they test.
The image boots into the Flex setup. Choose 'Install ChromeOS Flex' to make it permanent, or 'Try it first' to run without writing to the disk.
Flex has no Play Store and no Android apps. The disk uses SATA and the NIC e1000, because Flex ships generic PC drivers rather than paravirtualised ones.
