0 -> Hey welcome back to the channel, in
today's Tutorial Tuesday I'm going to
3.06 -> show you how to install Linux alongside
Chrome OS using Crouton. Now this is a
7.68 -> full-blown Linux distribution that you
can toggle back and forth between
11.309 -> Chrome OS and Linux and install all your
favorite Linux applications as usual
16.35 -> I'll have links down in the description
to everything I talked about and let's
19.05 -> get into the tutorial alright so here we
are in the Chromebook and the first
22.23 -> thing we need to do is reboot this into
recovery so we can put it into developer
27.119 -> mode super easy to do that all you do is
hit the escape refresh and power button
34.07 -> it's going to restart into that recovery
mode now all right so this is our
38.879 -> recovery mode and at this point all we
need to do is hit the ctrl and D key to
44.52 -> get us into the option to put it into
developer mode it's going to ask us to
49.26 -> turn the OS verification off when I hit
enter when you come to this it's going
53.91 -> to make a loud beep unless you hit the
ctrl D so when you get to this screen
58.949 -> it's just telling you it's gonna put it
into developer mode just wait until this
62.85 -> times out or if you decide you don't
want to do it go ahead and turn the
66.72 -> computer off but we're just gonna wait
it out and let it go in so now it's
70.29 -> setting up the developer mode and when
it boots into the operating system we're
74.76 -> gonna have to reset everything up from
scratch just like it was a new
78.54 -> Chromebook alright so after a developer
mode it came up and we went through the
81.6 -> setup and that is the point we're at now
so we're ready to go ahead and install
86.159 -> crouton the first thing we need to do is
download it so if you just go out to
90.659 -> Chrome look for crouton it's probably
going to be the first item on the list
95.07 -> and all we need to do is go to this link
and download it while it's downloading
100.77 -> scroll down a little bit and you're
gonna see the instructions for the
105.659 -> install which is right here super easy
to get this all set up so once that's
110.61 -> installed all we need to do is open the
terminal and we're going to do that by
113.7 -> hitting ctrl alt T it brings up this
terminal we can just drag this out to
119.399 -> the other side of the screen make it a
little easier we need to go into a shell
123.27 -> so just type shell in here and then
we're basically gonna just copy and
127.77 -> paste these commands from the left side
into the right side so with this
133.5 -> first command does is it just puts
crouton into a location that we can
136.59 -> execute it from then we're going to do
sudo crouton T now in the instructions
143.73 -> that says xfce that is a Linux desktop
you can look more on Linux desktop
149.19 -> there's a lot of information out there
but if you want to know which ones are
152.97 -> available for crouton at this Dashti you
can type list and it'll show you all the
159.06 -> different desktop environments that you
have available for crouton you so for
162.27 -> the purposes of this tutorial we are
just going to do what the instructions
165.36 -> say we're going to install crouton T
xfce
175.19 -> so what this is going to do is it is
going to go and download all the files
181.459 -> that we need it's going to set up the
chroot for us and then when we come back
186.48 -> it's going to ask for username and
password so right now I'm going to pause
190.38 -> the video and jump ahead to the end of
this installation this does take a
194.489 -> little while so just be patient but
you'll see things happening on the
198.36 -> screen so you know it's not stuck or
anything all right so at this point our
201.63 -> installation is done it's asking us for
a username so I'm just going to type one
207.09 -> in and then a password that we use to
start this up and that is it the
215.4 -> installation is done now if we want to
launch into that Linux session all we
219.81 -> need to do is do a sudo start xfce 4 so
this is our xfce desktop and for this
230.519 -> tutorial I'm just going to use the
default configuration you can go in and
234.78 -> configure this however you want now the
first thing I would do once this is set
238.739 -> up this may not be necessary because it
should get all the updates but just come
243.9 -> into a terminal I just click down here
for the terminal and run the command
248.01 -> sudo apt update type in your password
that you chose it's going to go through
256.56 -> and update the application repositories
so the database for the the applications
262.26 -> that are available and at this point up
in this area it would tell you if there
266.74 -> anything that needs to be upgraded and
if there is you would just do sudo apt
272.039 -> upgrade and that just ensures that your
system is up to date but at this point
277.87 -> we have a fully functional Linux
installation alongside of our Chrome OS
282.759 -> and we can switch back and forth between
the two and you do that by holding ctrl
286.99 -> alt shift and then the left arrow to get
back to Chrome OS now you can see on my
292.36 -> Chromebook when I switch back the screen
gets messed up and a quick way to fix
297.4 -> that is hit ctrl alt right arrow left
arrow and it refreshes the screen
303.75 -> everything's good to go and if you want
to switch back to the Linux installation
308.409 -> again all you do is hit the ctrl alt
shift left arrow get back and you can
315.25 -> switch back and forth between Chrome OS
and Linux all day long now if you want
319.96 -> to exit out of here you can just come up
to the top go to log out and it'll exit
325.99 -> out there or bring you back to Chrome OS
again I need to refresh the screen
329.409 -> another way to do that is to come down
to the panel here and toggle the
334.81 -> nightlight on and off that just
refreshes the screen and get you back up
338.53 -> and running as well so that's it pretty
easy right and at this point you have a
342.46 -> full Linux distribution running
alongside Chrome OS that you can toggle
345.82 -> back and forth between install all your
favorite Linux apps including steam and
350.229 -> some games that will run on your
hardware that is going to be kind of hit
355.03 -> and miss because of the limited hardware
on Chromebooks but it does work
358.15 -> hopefully you found this useful and
informative if you like videos like this
361.93 -> make sure you subscribe if you like this
video in particular hit that thumbs up
365.68 -> and leave me down comment below if you
have any questions or comments and I
370.03 -> will see in the next video thanks for
