Hi /g/urus,

This might belong in /sqt/, but I want to run Linux on a Chromebook. I had one before and used crouton, but could never get the chroot config to save properly and had to re-install Linux everytime I booted and wanted to use it. Is this normal suffering, or am I a faggot?

>Am I a faggot?
Yes

But onto your problem. What distribution and de are you trying to install? What model Chromebook?
>>

>Yes
I feared as much.

>distro & de
I'd like plain-jane OpenSUSE

>What model Chromebook?
Its the Samsung Chromebook 3.

I don't have it on-hand anymore, but wanted to know if its feasible to have a permanent Linux installation. Is crouton for this?

Crouton essentially creates a virtual environment to run Linux in. It's not like flashing it onto a hard drive. The book will still be Chrome os. However, when you create a chroot, it allows Linux to be ran virtually and saved. It's not the same as completely erasing chromeOs.

You can see the list of supported distros and Des by looking through and entering the commands found here :

I don't believe opensuse is supported. I use chroot for pentesting practice in Kali-rolling.

It is kinda ghetto and buggy. I wouldn't recommend using it if you aren't very familiar in Linux.

There are ways to permanently install Linux onto a Chromebook (I.e. not chroot), but it involves flashing a custom bios onto it

Should get you started.

>>61555853
I don't think that should happen you probably were fucking something up.

Thank (You) to all of you.

Now that I understand it to be creating a virtual environment, I understand now what I was doing wrong.
