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:
• Chrome OS Flex: Google...

I have to say, after watching many other tech channels recently, this was a refreshing change. No bias, no opinions, no larking about, and no fluff. Just a well-presented and concise overview showing the useful features that most users will appreciate. I've been a long time viewer of this channel but this particular video, on this particular day, for some reason, just made me appreciate it all the more.

There is no way I can express how amazed and pleased I am of your videos. Most of the time when I find a KZfaq video that looks like it might have the info I want, it has either poor video, poor audio, blasting background music, or the person rambles on for 10 minutes before getting to the subject. Yours have superior quality audio, video, and content. My only complaint is that you have years worth of past videos I want to watch and it’s going to take forever to get caught up. Thanks so much!

Hey Chris, good to see that Chrome OS Flex is better now and worked for you. Back when I tried it in early September I had problems such as the GUI using software rendering and the Linux environment not working and not installing at all. That first problem can probably be blamed to my Nvidia GT710 gpu which uses proprietary druvers on Linux and not part of the Linux kernel unlike Intel and AMD devices. It became evident to me that Chrome OS Flex was using software rendering when I noticed that 144p KZfaq videos were stuttering and while my GT710 was running pretty cool, my processor (Xeon E3 1240v3) was running very hot and at one point in testing reached thermal shutdown (partly can be blamed on my tiny heatsink at the time). Chrome OS Flex would have been perfect for that PC since I use it more for media consumption on a TV, but the problems I had back them had me going back to Linux Mint, which I do like and my pick for a Linux Distro. I might test Chrome OS Flex once again at some point in the future and I do hope it works better since I have an AMD gpu now.

I recently installed Chrome OS Flex on one of my laptops, but this operating system did not recognize the Wi-Fi adapter. Still, developers need to do a lot of work to ensure the proper level of device support. Good luck in your activities and thank you for your work!

Why? Because the user experience is better. For me, this replaced Ubuntu on my TV PC, and things no longer crash. Boot up is quicker. Shutdown is massively quicker etc. I still run Linux Mint on the desktop (I am in it right now). But for rapid, stable content access and basic computing, Chrome OS Flex works better.

An excellent video as always. Spurred me to have a go with a couple of old laptops, an ASUS Celeron and an HP i3, which are about 5 years old. The installation of Chrome OS flex went well on both machines. However, the i3 had the Linux addition greyed out so presumably not suitable for this VM. The ASUS allowed the installation to start but failed partway through (I tried it several times). What I found frustrating is that there is very little information on why this happens. The reason for failure is given as 'the Linux feature is still in development and may fail'. The Chrome OS Flex is very fast, but I'm reverting to Linux Mint!

This is a truly great video, and I must say, Chrome OS is indeed now a competitive choice for those running windows or mac, or even a linux distro. I've been using chrome os on chromebooks since 2018, and I love how nowadays, they have the ability to run linux applications. I have managed to install and run audacity in chrome os, and it has no issues whatsoever. I don't use the flex version of chrome os, but it's pretty much the same thing as what you get on a chromebook, it's just one you can install on any pc with a usb flash stick. All in all, it's a great video for tech enthusiasts like myself. :)

Ahoy, I've always passed on Chrome OS as a playtoy OS. I have to admit that having this Linux Capability (using Debian, my distro of choice) will make me look closer at it. I have multiple mini pcs with Atom & Celeron CPUs and this might be a usable option. In fact I'm typing this on a Liva-Z with a Celeron 3150 GPU running Debian 11... Keep up the great work. I never miss a new video. Cheers, daveyb

while it sure looks good, always keep in mind that this VM will be much slower than your typical debian installation. just so you know, before you may get disappointed.

Well, finally Chrome OS is more than just the bare minimum to run a browser on top of it. I'd like to see a performance comparison of a couple of programs on the Linux virtual machine in Chrome OS Flex vs Linux native install on the same hardware, for instance with your standard filter test in GIMP and Kdenlive project render times.

Does Chrome OS Flex share any of your data with Google ? Excellent video - it's my treat every Sunday 🙂
