Installed Mint or Ubuntu on ChromeBook

From my experience, a Chromebook is so locked down to protect your account, it's not worth trying to boot another Linux version onto it. You can run a Linux image inside its VM, although the performance is a bit poor:

  1. Install Penguin on the machine (Linux) with 100gb
  2. sudo apt update
  3. Install quickemu https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu (download the .deb file)
  4. Mint worked best for me: quickget linuxmint 22 cinnamon
  5. Edit the conf file to increase the disk space to 30-40gb, higher resolution
  6. Follow the terminal output instructions for running it, e.g. quickemu --vm ...
  7. On Mint itself, you likely have to download deb files for Chrome, Visual Studio Code.

# Then it converts the Markdown to HTML, and finally the HTML to PDF, if you want to retain the images.
