Crouton & Kali Linux Reviews and details

• ChromeOS is splitting the browser from the OS, getting more Linux-y

  I'm guessing GP means natively, not in a VM. I've been super grateful for the VM-based method, but I still prefer the native experience like that provided by Crouton[1]. With Crouton being "maintenance-only" now I share GP's hope that a similar thing will be possible and easy. [1]: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• how do i download crouton i cant find any type of tutorial can someone PLS HELP!

• Can I rigg a Chromebook to install Linux on it? Not the virtual Linux they have an option for, I want to replace Chrome OS entirely with Linux.

  At any rate, you can try Breath, Crouton, Manjaro... Those are three of the distros people have found success with. It all boils down to the specific hardware involved... Which we know nothing about since you kept that to yourself. Source: 11 months ago

• when i try to install ubuntu with crouton on my hp chromebook 11 it says all these errors even though its in developer mode the first error when i type,sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t unity, says ssh: 0: Refusing to exec /home/chronos/user/Downloads/crouton from noexec mount; see https://chromium.goo

  Post in r/crouton and refer to https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton if you haven't already. However, I think it's fair to say that Crouton is now broken to the point of being effectively dead. Source: 11 months ago

• why does crouton keep giving me an error

  Crouton is no longer developed and this is the wrong sub but check r/Crouton and/or https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: about 1 year ago

• Minecraft on a Chromebook?

  You can play minecraft on a chromebook. First you have to install ubuntu. Before you install it, the chromebook has to be in developer mode. You enable developer mode by first shutting off the chromebook, then hold the keys, escape, reload, and the power button all at the same time. Do note that enabling developer mode wipes all user data from the device. After that it will boot to a screen that says that Chrome... Source: about 1 year ago

• Can i game on a 140$ amazon chromebook??

  Install Crouton and run Linux on your Chromebook without VM/container penalties. More complicated than Crostini but also better performance. https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: about 1 year ago

• Crouton install of xfce causes major problems

  I used the crouton install developed by D Schneider as available on github, Basically that means that I didn't do the Install other than run his auto-install: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: over 1 year ago

• steam on the Acer 314

  Also, if you don't want your games to be a slideshow, run Steam through crouton, since the default Crostini container uses an emulated VirGL GPU, which severely reduces performance. Source: over 1 year ago

• Question about usage on a chromebook

  IMO if you want to do this you'll need to install Ubuntu(or another fully-fledged Linux distro) on your Chromebook using either Crouton, Breath, or by flashing a Coreboot firmware and installing Linux on the hardware, then using the instructions for regular Linux. If you flash a Coreboot firmware you will in some ways un-Google the device and won't be able to use regular ChromeOS anymore unless you return to a... Source: over 1 year ago

• Offline Tools for Chromebook?

  The alternative to the web tools would be to chroot your os with crouton (or go for a more permanent solution like chrubuntu) and install the tools through wine. I know that the tools work on normal linux installs with wine, and they should through crouton too, but probably not if you have one of the ARM processor chromebooks. Source: over 1 year ago

• Functional difference between terminals?

  Because it's not intended that ChromeOS users should need to modify the base operating system (e.g. To install software), it doesn't come with a package manager like apt or emerge. (However, you can install one if you want using something like Chromebrew* or Crouton*.). Source: over 1 year ago

• yt-dlp status on Chromebooks (native Chrome or Linux container)

  Native ChromeOS? Depends on what you mean. If you mean access to a shell , ETC then you can but you need it in developer mode, something I wouldn't recommend if you're just a casual user. The Crostini container should work just fine. It uses LXD so it won't be as slow as a virtual-machine or anything so there's no need to worry about performance degradation when encoding video with Ffmpeg. There's going to be some...

• Simple Question, but can't find it via google again?

  Hello... IF you are doing this via crouton, then have a look at https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton for all the commands and documentation. Source: over 1 year ago

• can you install ubuntu or another linux distro on a chromebook?

  Yes. You can use https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton, or, if yours is intel, you also could flash a standard UEFI or BIOS with https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript, preferably if you remove the write protect screw, completely replacing ChromeOS, maybe with something like GalliumOS.

• Low-hanging fruit: Framework Chromebooks

  People like myself in that small demographic didn't buy them because of ChromeOS, they were purchased because of crouton - https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: over 1 year ago

• just because I'm trans doesn't mean I'm a CS student who daily drives arch, exclusively wears hoodies, and has a thing for cat people

  Well it's a hacky installation because it's on a Chromebook in a dodgy chroot via Crouton. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you develop locally with privacy/security in mind?

  In order of decreasing isolation: For hardware and system's security QubesOS(i) is superb for isolation at the (virtual)machine layer. This talk(ii) from Micah Lee when 4.0 launched is a great overview/preview. It's my daily driver, and I find it indispensable. For software security any standard linux distro you can utilize encrypted chroots(iv). This is how things like crouton(v) work on ChromiumOS. For... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Setting up an OS other then Chromeos

  There is no way to change OS on an ARM powered CB. You only can run Linux as chroot environment like Crouton https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. In the end this will bring no advantage over crostini. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Chrome OS Devmode

  You can also enable crouton and install a Linux Desktop inside a chroot. Or boot a full-fledged Linux Distro from a USB(With Breath or MrChromebox's firmware.). Source: almost 2 years ago
