I actually didn't intend to suggest that Chromebooks were designed only for Chrome OS, but that they were branded as laptops that ran Chrome OS, and that Chrome OS accordingly released a build for that laptop design.
Without motherboard support, it's non-trivial to build and install Chromium OS for a device. And that's a lot easier than building Chromium OS. This article assumes, however, that a user has a need or desire to run Chrome OS.
My daughter's Chromebook runs it and it's a lot more flexible now, even with the limited storage and memory. I've been hoping to access my external USB hard drive from linux but I have never found a way to do it.
Maybe in chrome 75 they had it or almost had it. I'm using an Acer chromebox with chrome So is there a way or not? Look in Settings on your Chromebook, and possibly re-read the section entitled "Share files and devices with Linux". If it's still not working for you, then you might need to format your drive with a different filesystem. Chromebooks do seem to have a fairly limited list of [reliably] supported filesystems.
Not exactly what I expected. GalliumOS turns an old Chromebook into the greatest bargain and a most enjoyable user experience in computing. Thank Crostini for serving as the gateway to Gallium. Unlock your Chromebook's hidden potential with Linux Opensource. Chromebooks are amazing tools, but by unlocking the Linux inside them, you can make them even more impressive.

Kali Linux includes many well known security tools, including: Nmap. Chromebook hacks help your laptop break out of its browser-based routine and learn some new skills.
John the Riper- Useful Hacking Software. Help is another incredible command to have in your back pocket, using help crosh will report to you some general information which can be very useful when you may be overwhelmed by your command center. This could be practical to see how long your kids have been using their Chromebook, and see if anyone else has logged into your Chromebook other than you! If you are more advanced in crosh you may understand and be able to interpret this information.
So, if it is blocked by your administration then, unfortunately, you should respect them and not go about downloading it. There are many benefits and new unique ways of using your Chromebook by downloading crosh and other platforms such as WINE to get the most out of your Chromebook.
There are various roadblocks that you can hit when using a Chromebook over some other laptops in regards to programming. Using crosh you can easily access just about everything other laptops have on their terminal commands. You can learn loads of new things using crosh such as your commands and debugging features that you may not know about. I know I learnt a lot throughout the process of downloading crosh on my own Chromebook and learning how and why different commands access different features.
Prefer an uncluttered space for writing? Check out FocusWriter , a super-simple word processor designed to be free from distractions. FocusWriter gives you a minimalist interface for composing your thoughts, with a color or image of your choice setting the mood and nothing else on screen to steal your focus.
Hovering over a menu area at the top of the app reveals some basic formatting commands — and that's about it. You can fix that by hovering over the topmost area of the app, clicking the Settings menu, and selecting "Themes.
Once you've done that, you'll see an "Edit" button that'll allow you to customize the theme. I'd suggest changing the font to Google Sans and the size to either 14 or 16 for better readability. You might also want to look in the "Preferences" section of that same Settings menu to change the app's default file-saving format to.
Go to the FocusWriter website. Select "Debian" from the screen that comes up next, then click "Grab binary packages directly" followed by the first button the one that ends with "amd When the file finishes downloading, open the system Files app from your Chrome OS launcher, then click the "Downloads" folder on its left side.
Find the file you just downloaded which will start with "focuswriter" and end with "amd Double-click it, then click the Install button on the prompt that comes up. Web-based email interfaces may be all the rage these days, but some folks still prefer good old-fashioned desktop mail clients for their superior speed and lack of browser reliance.
That traditionally hasn't been an option on Chrome OS, but — yep, you guessed it — the presence of Linux apps makes it possible. The best all-around Linux mail client to consider for a Chromebook is something called Evolution.
Evolution puts your email, calendar, and contacts — along with tasks and memos — into a single Outlook-reminiscent interface that's both snappy and easy to use. The only thing complicated about Evolution is the process for installing it — which requires you to use a special software deployment program called a Flatpak.
If you're prompted to select between a "system" and a "user" option, select the "user" option which will probably mean typing in the number 2 and then hitting Enter. Press y followed by Enter for any confirmation prompts that come up after that.
The lack of a true native Slack app for Chrome OS can be a bit of a bummer. Sure, you can use the website — and even make it look pretty , if you want — but neither that nor the Slack Android app feels entirely like a desktop experience or gives you the full set of keyboard shortcuts present in the Windows and Mac versions. Here's the answer: Snag the official Slack Linux app, and get back to the compromise-free chatting experience you enjoy.
Go to the Slack for Linux Downloads page. When the file finishes downloading, open the Files app from your Chrome OS launcher, then click the "Downloads" folder on its left side. Find the file you just downloaded which will start with "slack" and end with "amd The lack of a Photoshop-caliber graphic editing tool has long been a gap that's kept me, personally, from using Chrome OS as a full-time computing platform. I can get by with web-based tools like Pixlr or Photopea while traveling or doing light work around the house — and so those have typically been the times I rely on a Chromebook — but when I'm sitting at my desk during the workday, the absence of a fully-featured image editor really impedes my workflow.
GIMP is the missing piece of the puzzle. The unfortunately named app — short for GNU Image Manipulation Program — is a robust graphic editor that rivals Photoshop in functionality. It isn't the most intuitive program and definitely requires a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure out its various quirks and intricacies, it's quite capable. GIMP is also another excellent demonstration of the complexity and confusing nature of Linux apps: For reasons I don't fully understand, the standard string of commands for installing GIMP on a Chromebook typically gets you a dated version of the program.
