I’m now dual booting Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint 18. I’ve upgraded my Dell Chromebook 13’s (i3/4GB) SSD to a 256 GB MyDigitial SuperBoot Drive and flashed the UEFI firmware (and its multiple updates). I wanted to give a big thank you very much to Coolstar, MrChromebox, and ReddestDream (as well as everyone else in the community)!
My collection of notes also served as a way to give back to the community and provide a handy reference.īig Thanks to Coolstar, MrChromebox, and ReddestDream with UEFI Firmware on My Dell Chromebook 13 Running with Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint 18 self.chrultrabook It’s still not clear whether the target is larger than the developer community but the rapid expansion of the Crostini Project and Linux Apps on Chrome OS sure makes it feel that way.Below is a post I made to Reddit on Septemto thank the people involved in my success in running Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint 18 (and later GalliumOS 2.0 and CloudReady) on my Dell Chromebook 13 (i3/4GB-Model). There are a number of other “app store” you can set up with Linux but Gnome will contain most of the commonly used apps Crouton users would use.įor most Linux users, having a Software Center may be a mild convenience but for the average consumer, this will be a must if Google is looking to make Linux Apps on Chromebooks a mainstream happening.
If you’ve long used Linux on Chrome OS via methods like Crouton, this will be very similar to installing and using the Ubuntu Software Center. Update – If you aren’t seeing apps in the Software Center, try running these two commands in the terminal and rebooting. Now, you can search for and install popular Linux applications such as Inkscape, GIMP, CMake and more.
The first few times I attempted this, I did not see any apps or categories in the Software Center but a simple restart of my Chromebox fixed that instantly. Click the Software Center app and you should be greeted with the Gnome shop for installing Linux apps. These are just packages and installers required to run the software center. You will see a couple of other new files in your launcher but don’t be concerned.
