Re: [Gimp-user] Google Chrome OS
Caveat: the fundamental principle of Chromebooks is that they are built to run ChromeOS, and in ChromeOS a lot of the heavy-processing is off-loaded to Google servers. This allows to make Chromebooks with small CPUs and RAM to keep their price low. An application like Gimp can require a lot of CPU and RAM to process some images, so you may find your Chromebook to be struggling when you process decent-sized images.

Re: [Gimp-user] Google Chrome OS
Hi Matthew. In the old days Chrome OS was its own platform, but from what i see now they have the option to turn on Linux in settings. If you dont have the option to turn on Linux you wont be able to do it. There are actually many tutorials out there to replace the Chrome OS with Linux, that's a lot more complicated. I hope you have the Linux option, because then you could install a lot more Linux apps. The way I learned about Unix or Linux then, was when Macs changed over to Unix based, and then they had the command mode and I went on from there. Let us know if it works.

Re: [Gimp-user] Google Chrome OS
As I understand it, the Graphic User Interface for Linux is X Windows. That would need to be present. In Mac OS, Linux compatibility is obtained via Apples version of X Windows; X11. There may be a similar accommodation for Chrome OS. Perhaps you can get some guidance with this issue via Google Chrome OS user support and/or Samsung user support.

Re: [Gimp-user] Google Chrome OS
Hello Matthew, Linux is more than just a program, it's the base (called "kernel") of a whole operating system (GNU/Linux, there are many flavors of it). If your plan is to continue using Chrome OS, I would suggest exploring options other than GIMP. If you feel adventurous, you can try to switch to Linux and use GIMP there. Your life will never be the same again though :) Alex пн, 10 мая 2021 г., 20:04 matthew kane via gimp-user-list < gimp-user-list@gnome.org>: > Hello, > > I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook.

[Gimp-user] Google Chrome OS
Hello, I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. I tried to download GIMP but it did not work. I know there is something called Linux that is available to download on the chromebook, I just don't know anything about it and didn't really care, until now. If I get this Linux program on my chromebook will I be able to download GIMP?
