    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.
