Crouton: How To Run Linux Applications In Chrome OS Windows Or Browser Tabs (Chromebook)

Crouton is a tool to easily install Ubuntu or Debian in a chroot environment on any Chromebook model. This article explains how to run Linux applications on top of Chrome OS (using Crouton) without running an entire Linux desktop.

Using the instructions in this article, you'll be able to open a Linux application in a Chrome OS window, or in a new Chrome browser tab.

It should be noted that Linux applications running in a Chrome OS window or tab via Crouton are not GPU accelerated.

Also, it's best to quit the applications from their File > Quit menu item, and not by closing the window by clicking on the X window button. By using the Quit menu item, the chroot exists properly, and you don't risk losing any settings you may have changed in the app you were using.
