I quickly realized that it would be a grand undertaking to document all there is to know about Linux on Chrome OS in a single sitting. That prompted me to take a step back and try to consider what a first-time user of Linux on Chrome OS would need to know to feel confident using the relatively new feature on their Chromebook. Your Chromebook must support Linux applications and have enough space (200MB of disk space is recommended by CodeWeavers).We’ve spent a lot of time talking Crostini and Linux apps as of late but I realized that the average Chromebook user might be a little intimidated when we start talking about terminals, command lines and other Linux-y lingo. It’s worth noting that there are minimum specs.
The software plus a lifetime of support and updates will run you $500. If you want the software plus 12 months of support and updates, that’ll cost $60.
You can purchase a stable version of CrossOver 20 for Chrome OS for $40. Unfortunately, that initiative will only be available to enterprise users, and Google hasn’t said whether this feature will be available to consumers in the future. Google is partnering with a different company called Parallels for that initiative. The latest release is no longer just the Android version but rather a new version that uses the Linux container available on supported Chromebooks.ĬrossOver is separate from the software Google is working on to bring Windows app support to Chromebooks. CrossOver was first released for Chromebooks all the way back in 2017, but back then it was the Android version of the app designed for Chromebooks. CodeWeavers on Tuesday announced (via Liliputing) the arrival of CrossOver 20 for Chrome OS, which makes it easy to run Windows apps on recently released Chromebooks.
