You don't need to install Xubuntu; you just run XFCE on top of Ubuntu in a chroot environment with crouton and you have a full Linux desktop at your fingertips.

- davidgerard 13y agoThat definitely counts!
- pearjuice 13y agoSo no _real_ Linux? As in on a direct HD partition without chroot?
- kunai 13y agoYou can baremetal a full Ubuntu install, but chroot is easier and lets you preserve some niceties of Chrome OS (fastboot, easy interface when you don't need full Linux, etc...). It's preference. If you want to run Linux straight, you can install Chrubuntu in a pinch, but crouton is much easier.
- pearjuice 13y agoI find the limitation of Ubuntu very uncomfortable. With most computers you can boot an ISO of any OS without major hassle but those Chromebooks really limit your movement span.
