Can I install Chrome OS as simply as I installed Ubuntu? With a USB drive and a friendly install process (on a separated partition on my SSD, my main OS is Windows 11 now).
- aesh2Xa1 3y agoYes. The chromeOS Flex installer image can be written to a USB drive and then booted from your usual computer. https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11552529 https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11552529 You can unzip this archive and write the unpacked BIN to a USB flash drive using `dd` like you would for Ubuntu. You can also just follow the Google instructions. https://dl.google.com/chromeos-flex/images/latest.bin.zip https://dl.google.com/chromeos-flex/images/latest.bin.zip
- pentagrama 3y agoGreat! Will try that since I see is an official documentation. I assume yes, but do you know if it is mandatory to have to login to the OS with a Google account? Or can be used with a local/offline account? I prefer the later.
- aesh2Xa1 3y agoYes, it's necessary to have a Google account for the typical case. You can login as a guest, but the data created in that session isn't saved – it's "ephemeral."
