With all that said, does anyone have any insight into this process before I proceed using available informative materials? Any personal experiences or insights not generally made clear elsewhere? Thank you for your time if so.I was wondering if there was a clean and simple way of installing Linux Mint over the Chrome OS via USB I have exhausted Google looking for answers and have found many different articles on the subject but all involve varies complex ways of installation with a application named crouton I have decided to see if I could get some advice since the Chromebook in question costs $160 and the last thing I want to do is screw it up I was also wondering if the Chrome OS is a decent one I am looking for something to play the Minecraft demo on and something to program with the only issue is that I do not know if I am limited to the apps in the app store as on Linux Mint if I needed a program I would either look for the. I just miss using a machine that better aligned with my ethics (open-source, privacy-minded, etc). Note that this will erase your flash drive, so make sure there isn't anything important on there before. At the prompt, enter sudo sh /Downloads/crouton -e -t xfce, then press the Enter key.
The idea is that it'll be more or less a lightweight word processor with internet access for academic research. Press the Start button, and if prompted to download new versions of Syslinux, click Yes. Open the Chrome OS developer shell in a new browser tab by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Beyond that, there'd possibly be the occasional torrent, as I used to do on my old machine. I don't intend to place much strain on it once converted 85-90% of its use will be given over to writing/note-taking in LibreOffice while listening to music on Youtube. I've put Linux on a Windows laptop in the past, but obviously it's a more involved process with a Chromebook even more so as I don't wish to dual-boot, but turn my machine into a lightweight Linux machine. I've pored over various articles and also several threads on several subs, and I have the wherewithal to do this without asking for input, but I'd still prefer to at least put the question to those who might have a better understanding of the tasks involved before I proceed.īasically, I'm looking to replace Chrome OS entirely on my ASUS Flip C302, in favor of the Ubuntu MATE distro/environment. It is ideal for experienced users and developers as it allows.
Arch Linux is one of the most popular Linux distributions. TL DR: Does anyone have any specific insight or advice with regards to the process of converting (not preserving Chrome OS) this specific Chromebook into a full-on Linux machine? Hence, BunsenLabs Linux is best for Chromebook users who want minimal resource consumption, a simple desktop environment, limitless customization, and software availability.
