I don't think so. ChromeOS uses a proprietary bootstrap ROM variant of UEFI, so most likely ThoriumOS also requires UEFI. Also, this project is abandoned.

It absolutely has support for BIOS. I was able to load it in qemu without efi support and it also loads on my HP Pavilion dv6 which is BIOS only as well.

As for the abandoned part, well it just had an update a little more than a month ago. I'd hardly call that abandoned.

@TheSystemGuy1337 @tech128 @vsaucing Yes, it does support BIOS.

@TheSystemGuy1337 ChromeOS does, to integrate with the special firmware Chromebooks use. ChromiumOS and derivatives have support for all three: BIOS, UEFI, and chromebook firmware.

chromebook firmware is based on coreboot (which is why Mr.Chromebox firmware works), plus proprietary additions by google.
Also, its not abandoned.
