    Working on Chromebook plus. I used the Appimage. There were a couple of workarounds.

    1) it doesn't work with ChromeOS Wayland, so I have to run as "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb NovelWriter.AppImage"
    I symlink the current version to NovelWriter.AppImage so that I can upgrade and downgrade easily.
    2) I had to "apt install enchant-2" to get the spellcheck to work.

    After that I created a .desktop file so that it appears in the ChromeOS App menu.

    Chromebooks are cheap, light, and portable, and have a long battery life. You need one with the "Chromebook plus" specification to run Linux apps.

  3. Sagra del Cinghiale - wild pig food fest in #Tuscany, #Italy. There's a long list of sagre we want to go to while here. Sooo much looking forward to these morsels of palatable delight!

  5. Setting up again in my Chromebook to have a spare Linux install. Most everything is on the Trixie repos for Arch64 but I had to build pgAdmin4

    I installed, through #Crostini / #Linux the #VivaldiBrowser and #Bravebrowser so I don't use the Chrome browser.
    And Linux / Crostini is sandboxed

  8. @kravemir how does this compare with ruttabaga's cross-domain encapsulation of #wayland? This is how #chromeos exposes the host window manager to #crostini guests.

  11. Hey Chromies, if you use #crostini on #chromeOS you might want to enable the GPU flag since they are disabling it by default as of ChromeOS 131 (currently beta channel). This is only if you want to use GPU acceleration which may be required for some #Linux apps.

  13. Gah my second #crostini #trixie image doesn't boot and I need it for the demo. It's taken about an hour to update my primary image to trixie and I shall avoid rebooting before my presentation 😬

  15. New post: "Setting up a cache server for apt packages"

    Some notes on setting up an apt-cacher-ng based cache server for Debian apt packages in my home operations ("homeops") context, including a section on using SSL/TLS origin servers.

  17. draft - debian software on chromeOS with linux enabled?

    i'm googling firefox debian.

    it seems once you have the linux thing setup for chromeOS, for the linux additional sandboxed version of the chrome browser for linux that's not tied to chromeOS itself (hence sandboxed which is a good thing if you're looking for a sandboxed chrome browser that isn't tied to chromeOS / android services, which is what i am looking for) then you just download the debian version on google's official website. and then you can just click to install the package, - no command line necesary. so then am i correct to assume that any linux software i want i just search for "debian" version of it on google or?

    and another thing someone told me is to make sure to enable the flag "Crostini GPU Support" in chrome://flags

  19. Can we sit back and appreciate the engineering work that went into making Linux in a vm + container sandbox work properly in ChromeOS with file sharing and Wayland passthrough?

    All of this tech is open source and developed upstream in the open. It's objectively not super applicable outside of the ChromeOS use case but it is noteworthy and interesting.

  21. I hate to admit it but the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 detachable/tablet hybrid is hands down the best travel device I've ever owned. The built-in environment gives me full access to all my development tools while traveling, it's ARM so all the Android apps I use run flawlessly, and battery life is incredible. Also, has gotten surprisingly good. 😬

    Look at this open source tech made so all the interop works! It's impressive.

  23. @jcrabapple I don't play a whole lot of games but when I do it's usually on my #chromebook either via #cloudgaming and #androidgaming but every now and then I'll fire up #crostini (based on #Debian) and play a game or two there.

  25. @LinuxClaude most likely can in the #Crostini #Linux container on #ChromeOS. I install a number of GUI apps including PHPStorm/VSCode/Steam in my ChromeOS Linux environment.

  27. grml, eine arch #crostini vm zum Laufen zu bekommen ist dezent mühsam... #chromeos

  28. @chris @bryanruby yeah, it's just the built-in #crostini Linux environment you can turn on. It used #LXD under-the-hood. The built-in #ChromeOS tools let you easily backup & restore the LXD container. My container is running #Debian 11(bullseye).
