I have an Acer C424(manufactured in 2021) but I cannot seem to get Linux Beta . I’ve done countless updates and have spent hours following tutorials to download the latest version but to no avail. What do I do?

How do I install the old-fashioned way using Crouton ? is there a tutorial for this ?
My chromebook does not have the Linux (beta) option (OS v76), I am in Beta mode, and developer mode, but the option is not under settings.

so im attempting to run the linux beta channel, and I got it to work (yay :)) but then I installed gnome, and there were no applications at all…? all that would show up is an OS update in the updates tab, nothing else… help…?

(minor update) i tried to install the update that it showed, but there was an error for that too…

Hi Andy, could you help me? I can’t turn on the Linux beta. I hit the “install” button, then the downloading starts. After several minutes, the installing widow tells “Error installing Linux…”,”Error mounting Linux files. Please try again”. I tried again and again, but always got the same error.

My Chromebook is an Asus C202XA test model: HANA TEST 5855
Chrome version：78.0.3904.73
CHROMEOS_FIRMWARE_VERSION：Google_Hana.8438.180.0

Thanks.

Please help. I am trying to install minecraft on brand new chromebook (version 84). I can’t tell if it has the Linux beta. I can’t find it anywhere in the settings. Downloaded .deb file but it won’t run. Could this be because my son’s account is managed by family link?

In reply to Sub to Giomin3_Gaming. Same issue. Verified Chrome Version (83), changed to the Beta channel, restarted; and, Linux (Beta) is still not an option... Just bought this chromebook for my son but he can't play minecraft on it :(
