Crouton is still under active development, but it gets less attention now that there's partial support for Linux apps in ChromeOS. Setting up Crouton requires carefully following directions, including switching the Chromebook to developer mode, which makes it somewhat less secure. It also completely wipes the Chromebook's storage. I'm not certain about this, but it may only work on X86 Chromebooks. I have found that one Chromebook I have uses an Arm processor is not supported by LMS. Easy? Probably not, but not impossibly difficult either. Definitely not plug and play. Practical? Perhaps. I have used LMS on my Chromebook while traveling. But that Chromebook is now just a laptop running Linux, after Google's support ended. And that's a much more satisfactory platform for LMS. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115736 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
