How to set up Linux on Chromebook
Before installing Ubuntu on your Chromebook, you must first enable developer mode.
While most of your data in Chrome OS is stored server-side in the cloud, you may have important files saved locally, such as those in your Downloads folder. In addition to disabling some security restrictions and letting you install a custom version of Ubuntu, all local data on a Chromebook is automatically erased when you enable developer mode. Therefore, back up important local data on an external drive or move it to the cloud before taking the steps below.
Turn on your Chromebook, press and hold the Esc+Refresh keys, and press the Power button. When the forced restart starts, release the keys.
