Linux mode on Chromebook

ninjaMAR

This thread is for using linux on chromebook.
You can turn it on by heading to settings and clicking on advanced. Then click on developers. There should be some text that says “Linux development environment (Beta)”. Click the turn on button next to the text. This will add a terminal and a linux system to the chromebook

Why does code=bash think it needs to run emoji BBCode inside the code tag?

sudo echo deb https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main  | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Look, it runs fine otherwise.

I never knew this was possible, cool! So does it have a GUI as well or just a terminal?

“run linux tools, ides, and more on your chromebook.”
CHROMEOS IS GENTOOOOOOO LINUX COMPILED FOR SCHOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!

so if its gentoo, it can run gentoo stuff in gui! i guess this mode just unlocks what gentoo linux can do!

I was able to run Minecraft (Java Edition) and connect to a friend's server on a Chromebook, though it took quite a while to install, and the Chromebook came close to running out of storage space. It seems the storage reserved for Linux can only grow, not shrink, so even after uninstalling Minecraft, the Chromebook continued to complain about storage space until I uninstalled Linux

Unfortunately, the Chromebook I normally use doesn't support Linux or Google Play because it is too old

IIRC you might be able to just double click the .deb file in the file explorer

No. I never played the game because I didn't want it to take too much space

I understand if the command line doesn't allow you to do that, I haven't ever really used it
