![]() ![]() The adoption of Crostini by Chromium developers is a play on words but the Crostini Project is exactly what the name implies. Crostini, by definition, is fancy crouton that is generally served with some sort of topping. ![]() Crouton was an unofficial method that required putting your device in an unsecured state and therefore left users to their own devices should something break. The Crostini Project gained its name from its predecessor “Crouton” which was the hacky way to run Linux in parallel to Chrome OS. We chose “command line” for a specific reason which we will get to shortly but first, let’s start from the beginning and cover what the “Crostini Project” is and how you can leverage it on your Chromebook. Welcome to “The Command Line”Ĭommand Line will be a weekly post starting with the basics of using Linux on Chrome OS and from there, we will explore all of the possibilities that Linux apps bring to Chromebooks. So, we thought it would be a great idea to start an ongoing series dedicated specifically to Linux on Chrome OS and all the things you can do with this very powerful feature. 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. 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.
