How the unholy fuck do I access the file browser on Chrome OS?
I bought a chromebook for schooling, but I cant seem to figure out shit with the new OS. Google tells me I need to use the app launcher on the shelf but I've only got chrome, gmail, docs and youtube on my shelf.
Pls help /g/

This. Some chrome books are decent computers, but chromeOS sucks. Linux that shit and make it useful.

What's wrong with that?
>superior 3:2 aspect ratio screens - great for document editing or programming
>weak specs, but nice battery life, just ssh into your home computer/server to get more involved work done with better processors

There's nothing inherently great about a gentoo installation unless you install gentoo yourself. Chrome OS bases itself on it because it was extremely configurable.

running crouton on these devices (in my experience) is pretty lousy as virtualization instructions are disabled in the default bios for whatever reason.

Forget everything you know about GNU+Linux and start to use Solus.
