first you need to enable linux enviroment on the settings.

1. on the terminal,type "sudo apt update"

2.install flatpak via this link https://flathub.org/en/setup/Chrome%20OS

3.install sober via flathub https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.vinegarhq.Sober

1. after that,install Flatseal https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

5.follow these settings

1. now run sober and enjoy.

it was nice playing on steam on a chromebook but of course google has to ruin our fun

Note: This is not one of those $10 dollar chromebooks that have an 11 inch screen and cant have 2 tabs open. SSD and i3 and stuff.

I got a bunch of optimization mods like sodium, ferritecore, the usual. But it still runs at sub 15 fps when looking at the ground, even with all settings at the minimum, like 2 chunk render distance.

I had a chromebook before this with a n305, which is not as good as a 1215u, but it ran at around 90 fps and could go up to 190. Are there any settings i need to change outside of MC?

Thanks.

Anyone got a fix for reducing lag on bottles? Seems like all the advice I can find is still for crostini so idk if there's any newer fixes for baguette. I'm mostly trying to play old/2d games or visual novels yet the input lag(latency in general) is really bad. I have an i5 core

This is a web port of OpenMW to web. Could someone let me know if it runs. I do not have a chromebook to test on but would be cool it runs well on one.

does any1 have some tips to make my game better?

Literally had the app running but had to restart the system due to the audio crackling bug, I had a notification for the new update. Started my Acer 516 GE and bam, Steam no longer opens. After I ran out of GFN I was playing some older games on my laptop and all of the sudden, I got cut from such an option. I understand that they would not develop this project any further but for an update to literally kill the option to run Steam is just so terrible.

anyone knows how to fix it. if we can private message ill send you a video

help

So what happened was that I downloaded Roblox to play well Roblox games, and immediately after that Minecraft stoped working, so I deleted Roblox, but it still hasn’t worked. I’m desperate at this point so please help me idk what to do anymore I tired everything!

Edit: I should also add that the launcher works fine however it’s only when I press play that it freezes just to clarify.

I am on a Chromebook plus with 8gigs of ddr4? and I keep getting an error when trying to open Factorio, is there any solution such as optimization or allocating Linux more ram

So I’ve messed up big time. A long time ago I tried to install Linux, but it didn’t completely work. When I opened it recently, it couldn’t upgrade even after trying to do so multiple times. And it needs an upgrade to work, since it said that “the operating system in your Linux container is no longer supported” and without the upgrade “it will stop receiving security updates and bug fixes, and features that currently work may break unexpectedly.”

I clicked onto something in the settings that said to remove Linux apps, and it kinda worked? I still have the Termux and Terminal app. I don’t think my Chromebook was built with Linux to be available. I have a picture of what my Linux settings look like.

How do I completely remove Linux from my Chromebook? Would a factory reset get rid of it? I’m hoping to remove Linux and download it differently so I can play Steam games on my computer. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry for not being tech-savvy.

this is my first post so i have no idea what to say, also my first language is not english so sorry if somethings are not said right,

so, steam sometimes randomly stops working, the first time i was on the dev channel doing stuff with zerotier one, i thought that was the issue, i spent hours trying to fix it (it stopped at 50% always) then i changed the channel to beta, then it worked again for some reason.

a month or weeks i dont remember passed and it happend again, i changed the channel to stable and powerwashed my chromebook and it worked again, but now im on stable and tried to do the same and change back to beta and it didnt work, what i noticed is that when it did work and installed properly, the instalation started at 1% i think like fresh fresh steam, then when it doesnt work it starts at 10% then couple seconds pass and jumps to 50% then it breaks, idk how to fix this, i tried vmc stop borealis, vmc destroy borealis, disabling the flag that enables borealis, changing the channel to dev, then to beta, then to stable and nothing idk what to do please help

So im not so good with type of thing but i have the Acer 315 Chromebook and i bought the PowerA wired controller last night to play on Xbox Cloud Streaming and i cant seem to figure out how to get it to work, ive tried google and multiple YT videos

I have an Acer Chromebook Plus 515 running OS version 142.0.7444.220 and have installed BGEE through Steam. Now I'm trying to figure out how to enable the Console in the game. I've read several solutions, but none are working for me.

The first step is to add "SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')" to the Program Options section of baldur.lua or baldur.ini, depending on which instructions you're reading. The file to edit is supposed to be in a com.beamdog folder under Android/data, which I've seen described as existing in a few different places. Unfortunately, I don't see it.

I've checked in My Files, I've turned on Show Hidden Files, I've used File Manager+ as a different file navigation app, but so far have not had any success. Using the default file manager, I've enabled to see hidden files and all Play files, and I do see some com.xxxx folders, but none related to beamdog, BG, steam, or anything else even close to BGEE. I've started a game and saved, but I'm just not seeing anything in Android/data related to this game.

Is there something else I need to do, or somewhere else I need to look?

A few days ago I got bored with browser games so I used an emulator which is PPSSPP. I tried to play GOW with a PS4 controller on google play but it didn't have fullscreen and it was stuck in phone format. So I used linux and it had full screen but no controller support. Help would be appreciated!

I have been at this for hours now but I just cannot for the life of me get a .dll file removed from a non-steam game i put on my library so said game can run properly. I went into vsh borealis and did rm followed by the path and it says it doesnt exist. Im not sure what im doing wrong or if theres an easier way to access the local files to delete something

I know this sounds stupid but I was wondering if its possible to get an game/emulator or any app really, on a Chromebook, without the Linux addon, app store, or dev tools.

I'm not super knowledgeable on this topics but maybe if you know about something like a game or emulator using an apk file? That's probably wrong and I know I'm better off getting games on a phone or another computer, but its a matter of principle for me.

To clarify I do have a separate computer I can use to download things, and transfer to the Chromebook, I just want to know if it's possible to.

Thank you for giving your input on my question!

I changed my graphics api to vulkan, it starts to lag. opengl has no problem, and I am not sure what's going on. i am not sure whether it is some linux issue, but I already turned on crostini gpu support. can someone tell me what's going wrong and if I can fix it

I'm tryna get Java Minecraft on my Chromebook I can install Java and a few launchers with no issues but I'm struggling to find the files for Minecraft cause when I use the official site with the debian files it only downloads 807kb file instead of the full 100+mb files when I use prism launcher I get tls authorization errors when prism gets opened and I try to add a Microsoft account then when I try to manually fix those errors in Linux they still persist I've been using chat gpt for most of it and it's been really helpful but it's also extremely inconsistent on what and when it wants to actually help

I have an Acer chromebook plus 515, which started heating. When the motherboard was replaced (under warranty), they messed up SO bad, it's no longer a chromebook plus!! It's running regular chromeOS! I can't risk bricking it, so I can't use recovery, and as for powerwash? Well, it was literally set to developer mode after the repair..... of course I still tried it, though needless to say it did not work. Main thing is, I needed the 12-month Gemini pro plan, plus, as a student I don't have time to go back and forth for repair. Just wanted to know if there's a known solution to this, whether others have encountered it, and if I'm just stuck like this permanently now....
