[GNC] Chromebooks

[Adrien Monteleone]

This link gives some info on flatpaks as well: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/08/19/install-linux-applications-chrome-os/

Note, ChromeOS is using the Debian9 Stretch repos, so if you just use apt-get you won’t get the latest GnuCash version.

You’ll either need a .deb from a PPA (or build it yourself) or try the flatpak. (not sure if Geert has started packaging this yet for 3.3)

Regards,
Adrien
