How to install and run Linux Apps in Chrome OS Flex, plus my thoughts on using Google’s new PC operating system every day for four months. Video includes setting up a Linux virtual machine, installation of LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Aisleriot Solitaire and VeraCrypt, and sharing folders.

Note that whilst this video focuses on Chrome OS Flex — the version of Chrome OS released to install on most x86-64 PCs and laptops — that what is shown in this video should work on most Chromebooks.

My first Chrome OS Flex video, which details installation, is here:
