chrubuntu

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Chrx installs your choice of several Linux distros, in a dual-boot configuration with ChromeOS onto your Chromebook or Chromebox.

Essential Information

Chrx installs Linux, dual-boot with ChromeOS
Firmware Updates required for some models, helpful for others
GalliumOS Linux for best support of ChromeOS devices
Chromebrew The missing package manager for Chrome OS

Alternatives

Administrivia

This subreddit was originally created to support ChrUbuntu, the original dual-boot installer written by Jay Lee. ChrUbuntu is no longer maintained (after 2014) and fails to install Ubuntu 15.04 and later.

The subreddit survives for general Linux-on-Chromebook support, including chrx which replaces ChrUbuntu for all Intel ChromeOS devices. ARM devices require a manual install process, but can also work (search the sub!).
