So, you’ll need to check the kernel version from the Linux terminal, not a crosh shell. That kernel may or may not be the same kernel version on your Chromebook. The update was to the Linux kernel being used inside the Linux container, a.k.a. I mentioned an updated to the Linux container. Before we dive in, I failed to mention one thing in the video and it’s very important because it will determine whether or not your device can run the Virtual Machine Manager. While you’re watching, this would be a good time to get your Chromebook set up with Linux apps. Check out the walk through and you can scroll down the page to grab all the commands you’ll need to try this out for yourself. That said, I decided that MX Linux would be a great choice for this video which will be the first in a series of Linux distros on Chrome OS.
This is based solely on page hits for the distro on DistroWatch’s website but many users consider this the legit basis for ranking OS popularity. For the past two years, Debian-based MX Linux has been the hands-down people’s champion. However, DistroWatch is the go-to website to see the popularity of most of the major Linux distros. There’s no sure-fire way to determine the most popular Linux distro by user base as most distributions are available a free downloads from their respective communities or creators.
So, today we’re going to take a walk through installing a Linux distro that has been arguably the most popular for two years running. We have had some requests to see the actual process in action and how different operating systems perform in the VM environment. In just the past couple of weeks, I’ve installed a full version of Windows 10 Home as well as a number of different Linux distributions. All of this can be done locally on your Chromebooks internal storage and it’s actually quite easy to do. With a recent update to the Linux container on Chrome OS, a number of Chromebooks can now leverage QEMU/KVM to run secondary operating systems via a virtual machine. We’ve been doing a lot of tinkering around Chrome Unboxed as of late.
