chromebooks Linux app support

A few months ago, Google announced support for running containerised Linux applications on Chromebooks running Chrome OS, and its Pixelbook became the first device to receive assistance. In the following weeks, Samsung’s Chromebook Plus also announced its participation in the support camp. Now it looks like Google hopes to expand its lineup further. 18 Chromebooks from multiple vendors including Dell, Acer, Lenovo, and Asus are expected to support Linux applications.

Acer’s Chromebook 13 and Chromebook Spin 13 will be the two devices pre-installed to support Linux applications, and HP’s Chromebook X2 will be the first separable Chromebook to support Linux applications. And now 18 Chromebooks will soon support Linux applications.

According to XDA-Developers, the 18 devices equipped with Apollo Lake processors, including Acer Chromebook 11 models C732, C732T, C732L, C732LT, CB311-8H/CB311-8HT, Acer Chromebook Spin 11 models R751T, CP311-1H, and CP311-1HN, Acer Chromebook 15 model CB515-1HT/1H and ASUS Chromebook Flip model C213SA.

Dell’s Chromebook 11 Model 5190 and Chromebook 11 two-in-one Model 5190 also support Linux applications, in addition to Lenovo Thinkpad 11e Chromebook, Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 11e Chromebook, Lenovo 500e Chromebook and Lenovo 100e Chromebook.
