is there a way to do programming on Chromebook without installing the Linux mode?? - Lemmy.World

if you’ve ever used a Chromebook, you’ll know there’s an option in advanced settings that lets you install a Linux VM so that you can install IDEs, games, etc… I used it to install GIMP, Krita and more. But I don’t want it anymore mainly because it doesn’t sync with your Google account, so what can I do?? I want to keep programming but I don’t want to use the Linux system. Thank you!!

Honestly, I’d just ditch the chromebook and buy a decent laptop.

Don’t understand the hate though. I find ChromeOS a good environment to do small programming tasks with its Linux VM.

Then there is always the fact that ChromeOS comes from Google…

Don’t take it too personally, I just don’t like buying spyware. But to each their own
