  This should be in r/crouton but if the OP followed the README they missed the "~" in the opening command...

  There is no custom firmware for ARM powered Chromebooks and most likely there will never be. Your only option would be Crouton which brings Linux as an chroot solution. If you want to be free in the choice of your os you should buy an x86 based machine intended for Windows.

  Hi all. In another post I asked about installing Windows, but in this moment isn't possible. So, I would to try Ubuntu (Crouton). I follow this guide https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton and everything seemed ok, but when I try to start it, I get this error:

• sudo: sh~/Downloads/crouton: command not found

  Gemini Lake processors are not supported, your best bet would be taking a look at crouton

• Im trying to install Linux on my 2014 chrome book, does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

  Please read the crouton readme

• Install: cannot stat '/root/Downloads/crouton': No such file or directory
  1 project | reddit.com/r/Crouton | 19 Sep 2021

  Long story short, I have an old garbage chromebook so cheap it doesn't have enough room for crouton, so I got an sd card to install it onto (using this guide: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/How-To-Install-To-External-Drive). Got all the way till "sudo install -Dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 ~/Downloads/crouton" where it seems it can't find my crouton file (Install: cannot stat '/root/Downloads/crouton': No such file or directory), though I checked and it's indeed there, and from what I can tell, the command should be directing it right to it, but it can't seem to find it. What am I doing wrong?

  If you want jack to directly connect with cras you need to do it using crouton, not possible with crostini. You can only use method i've send above if you want to run an app that only works with jack in crostini.
