How to enable Developer Mode and download Crouton There are a lot of tutorials out there explaining how to install various releases of Ubuntu, Debian or Kali Linux (these are the GNU/Linux distros currently supported by the Crouton installer), but I wanted to run the latest Ubuntu release, Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) in this case, with the GNOME 3.24 desktop environment. It was really cool to see him switch so easily between the two operating systems with a simple keyboard shortcut that it made me wanna do the same. Why? Because of a friend who came one day at a meeting we had with his laptop, a Dell Chromebook 13, on which he ran Ubuntu Linux alongside Chrome OS. Recently, I got bored again, and so I decided to install Ubuntu on my Acer Chromebook 11 (C740) using Crouton. So after a few months, I reinstalled Chrome OS using a recovery image that Google provides on their website for this sort of things, which I wrote on a USB flash drive and booted from my Chromebook. Last year when I got my Acer Chromebook 11 (C740), I wrote a tutorial to teach you guys how to remove Google Chrome OS and install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice, but things got boring. ![]()
