HOW TO SET UP LINUX ON CHROMEBOOK

Setting up Linux on Chrome OS

Linux is a feature that lets you develop software using your Chromebook. You can install Linux command line tools, code editors, and IDEs (integrated development environments) on your Chromebook. These can be used to write code, create apps, and more

1. First you need to enable linux on your chromebook.  SO , for that head to settings > Advanced > Developers menu.

 2. Once you are in the Developers menu, click on “Turn on” next to the “Linux development environment (Beta)” section. 

3. A setup dialog will open up. Now, click on the “Install” button and proceed ahead to run Linux on your Chromebook.

4. On the next page, enter your desired username for Linux and select “Customised” to choose how much disk space you want for Linux. I have total internal storage of 64GB so I have allotted 25GB. If you have a larger storage capacity and want to play games, develop programs on Linux, you should extend the storage even further.

5. It will take a few minutes to install Linux on your Chromebook. After the installation is done, you can run Linux and start using the Linux Terminal on your Chromebook. You will find the Terminal app inside the launcher.

And that's pretty much it. You have successfully setuped linux on your chromebook.
