[GNC] Chromebooks

[Adrien Monteleone]

Do a search for “run linux apps on chromebook” and you’ll get a page of hits, all from this year, the first 5 or so from the last 6 weeks showing you how to install linux apps on a Chromebook.

If you end up with a situation where you need to build first and can’t use a PPA or otherwise download a .deb file, you could first install Virtualbox, install a linux distro (and just use that to run GnuCash) then build the app as a .deb, share it back to ChromeOS and install.

You might have quite a few hoops, but it should be possible.

Regards,
Adrien
