Apps support has always been one of the major complaints of Chromebook users. Sure, you can install Android apps using the Google Play Store, but most Android versions of desktop apps don’t give you the desktop experience. However, you can install Linux on Chromebook and install and use most desktop apps<\/a>. In this article, let’s look at how to install Linux on Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
