Your Chromebook will be able to run full open source office applications among other software including Steam and Minecraft! The Chrome Web Store is not bad but it does not compare to installing full-fledged desktop applications and Steam games.Ĭaveat: Crouton works by creating a chroot, which is sort of like virtualization (but not quite). Since chroots allow for viewing your hardware devices, including the entire contents of memory which makes your Chromebook vulnerable to a root exploit. The full Linux desktop is only a keyboard shortcut away so it is there only when you need it. Crouton runs alongside Chrome OS and doesn’t skip a beat in terms of speed. If you’ve ever wanted to give Linux a try, now is your chance. Linux is a powerful operating system that is highly customizable and has a library of great open source applications. Unlike dual booting, you can easily switch between Ubuntu and Chrome OS with a keyboard shortcut, no reboots necessary. It allows you to run full Ubuntu on top of Chrome OS.
