Chrome OS Flex: Installing Linux Apps & 4 Month Review of Google’s New PC OS
How to install and run Linux Apps in Chrome OS Flex, plus my thoughts on using Google’s new PC operating system every day for four months. Video includes setting up a Linux virtual machine, installation of LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Aisleriot Solitaire and VeraCrypt, and sharing folders.
Note that whilst this video focuses on Chrome OS Flex -- the version of Chrome OS released to install on most x86-64 PCs and laptops -- that what is shown in this video should work on most Chromebooks.
My first Chrome OS Flex video, which details installation, is here:
