Today I've got back my low end laptop which a lot of you guys have wanted to see videos on my channel today we try ChromeOS Flex... Turning this laptop into a Chromebook
If you are not aware ChromeOS is an operating system by Google based on Linux and since its so lightweight can run really well on low end systems, it's fast snappy and really does breathe new life into old computers, But the big question is can we install Minecraft or even game on ChromeOS Flex?
Let me know if you have tried it in the comments down below and if anyone can help me that would be much appriciated and I'll definitely do a part 2 of this!
Lots of people liked my video on AtlasOS 'AtlasOS on a Low End Laptop - Best OS for Minecraft FPS Boost? video so I decided to do another OS video hopefully we can get to see what FPS it gives us on Minecraft in the future.

Thanks for watching!
I remember installing Chromium OS on my raspberry 4. It wasn't the exact same experience but it was easy-to-use
For a more desktop-like experience on a low-end PC, a Linux distribution might be a better choice.
Something like Linux Mint XFCE would run on any x86_64 computer, and has the added bonus of the full Linux software library, with unmatched stability and security. Mint also has a very shallow learning curve, mainly because it looks very similar to Windows, but also because application management, driver installation and updates are done with a graphical user interface.
i actually use mint xfce and it runs really well!

If your low end laptop is an Intel, you could have used brunch instead of chromeos flex, and you would have had the option of using the Linux apps. From what I’ve heard, it works pretty well!
I think it has an intel bc there is an intel sticker on the pc, there is a possibility that it has integrated graphics
@@ari_1755 My specs are in the description, do you think it would work?
I looked into brunch but I was put of by the lengthy install and tried ChromeOs flex instead
@@NotroDan yeah it might work
Ah yes, I forgot about the somewhat convoluted install process :)
I love that you do tutorials as well for these videos! its really helpful.
I've had no issues and much better performance on ChromeOS Flex. I got MultiMC via the terminal and used the 1.18+ (now 1.19) optimized launcher from technic. Works super great but do wish Android apps were on here, Linux apps are a lot more important though so not a huge issue. Also, I have Steam running too with a ton of Steam apps and games that work well. I am using an i7 though so might be thanks to the higher specs.
Nice! my linux environment just doesnt seem to work 😭
Maybe try a Linux distro soon on that low-end laptop, I personally like PopOS and Arch.
might as well use brunchos xD The funniest part is the only notebook I'd use this or brunch are actually the real chromebooks because they do not get the official updates but the unofficial brunch port works flawless even on the very first generation chromebook that did not get any updates for past few years, google is artificially making e-waste out of perfectly working devices.
I use a chrome book for school and even at home I use my personal account and it’s just really light weight and useful for small things.
I use ChromeOS Flex in my daily pc and it works realy well and it's perfect for me !
Cool new video as always bro keep up the good work :)
Jokop
Thank you :)
I love your OS videos, keep up the good work up!
arch linux is pretty ez to install they have a simple script called archinstall
you just flash the arch iso to ur usb boot connect to network then type archinstall
You need to enable cpu virtualization in bios to properly enable the linux support.
Big thing to note about the "Linux compatibility", it's just a customized Debian 9 virtual machine, and since it's a virtual machine and not a native integration, the performance is likely to be terrible.
It's better to use something like Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Linux Mint (XFCE), you'll have a better user experience and better performance
Also, since it uses Debian 9, you have packages that are behind the latest by like 5 years. Which makes some programs not work since the glib version is old
It uses Debian 11 now

Remember that with ChromeOS Flex, you do get the full experience minus a few features here and there such as no Google Play Store either.
I Also "Attempted" To install it on my cousin's old device, works good as new
love the video, but chromeos flex has a couple small problems in my mind:
1 - very stripped down, non-technical, which is good for some people but terrible for others
2 - why do you have to delete everything else on the drive to install?
3 - linux isn't supported without a virtual machine, which is ridiculous since the base for this os is linux and it uses linux features to do things
4 - good luck running games lol, correct me if i'm wrong
It's just Gentoo with spyware built into it so it should run games fine but I'm not sure.
games are possible with linux apps, but only for chromebookk versions of chrome os
you can choose to not wipe the drive while installing and create partitions, tho its just the easiest to do a full wipe, but on my main machine I have a dual boot with Arch Linux (btw) and Windows 10
@@patrickguy33 actuallly there is no option to even choose a drive
so theres no option to partition
@@vexnity460 oh well, chromeOS is weird then, literally every other OS other than windows at least has an option
You should’ve used the first download option, since you have an Intel processor and integrated graphics.
dan: have you ever have used an chromebook before?
me the guy who is watching on chromebook
seems Like a guy who makes Amazing vids for us which = ill deffinitly sub to this channel and Like everything i can on it
You've entered a stage of no return. Good luck on your OS hopping XD
Yepp
you hit the plus in the terminal settings window, and it should open the terminal window up. my chromebook does that sometimes when I'm trying to use the linux terminal.
new vid ohh yeah baby
Thanks for this I’m installing chromeos flex on my super slow Asus pc from 2013
Nice video
BTW background music?
HELL YEAH NEW VIDEO
actually, arch linux is not hours to install. just use the command "archinstall" and then you can install things in 10 minutes
i love you and your vids soo much they are very entertaining and helpful
so i when he said he hadn't heard of anyone getting games running on ChromOS I have steam installed on my super low-end laptop (it's a Chromebook, not a PC turned chrome) i can play a couple low-end Linux-supported games (mind you its Linux steam, not chrome optimized steam that is available on select CBs) which is nice. I really like the Linux feature i have been able; to do a few cool things
wow, noted
If Chrome OS one any Linux distro are clever and do this well.. because of the Windows 10 / 11 issue with hardware not meeting a lot of people needs and expectations or forcing them to upgrade etc.. they could take over the monopoly that Windows has for now..
Also Dan back when this was released I saw a person installing this and they couldn’t do what you did, instal Linux vm on ChromeOS Flex
I played Minecraft when it was playable on the official Minecraft website as a demo which I believe was version 1.4 or 1.5 crazy
Wow thats insane
Will you ever try arch linux?
Look at fedora linux it's a cool distro based on redhat entreprise linux and it's a bit of a mix between Ubuntu and Arch (for the stability and the recent packages)
Nobara would be better in that respect
Brunch Framework, basically you'll got it all everything you need even native Android support. Performance is very surprising than Chrome OS Flex.
For those who want to do things like run Android apps, try FydeOS instead of ChromeOS Flex. ChromeOS Flex is basically a web browser only. Linux is OK too, if you’re interested in it, look into distributions such as Zorin OS and Pop!_OS, or Zorin OS Lite for low end laptops. Linux has way more app support than ChromeOS Flex. So, if you have a low end laptop, just be aware ChromeOS Flex isn’t your only option.
This guy knows what we want
Yes but please keep letting me know!!!
You should try brunch
To install any Linux files, the Terminal needs to be fully operational and open while using the container. Any closures of such application could cause data loss in the virtual system. The reason for the error while installing is because Chrome IS Flex is relatively new, and may not be fully supported for your device. Another reason may be that the Unstable version was downloaded in this video.
When I first installed Chrome OS Flex I also could not get the Linux environment to run. (The machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad T420s.) But I was able to get it to run by changing some BIOS settings which I do not remember but probably were related to virtual machines and security. Perhaps this would work for you. Cheers from Wisconsin.
hey, notro my comment ment installing windows 10 on a chromebook (if u read my previous comment and the vid is about my idea)
This video is so good
I once played around with this on a dell inspiron n4010
Try Burning it with Balena Etcher without extracting it, it worked for me (FydeOS)
I looked up Roblox not Minecraft but still a good video
I tried to go.back to windows 10 on my laptop but it keeps giving me an error saying I need a disk driver. I don't know
Damn boy, SO GOOOOOOOD!
help me i have only one drive and one pc and it says to erase the usb .i won't have any way to install windows back
R.I.P Notroclient
I started playing it when it was Version 1.2.10 on Mobile with my cousins xD
Lets gooo finally new vid
changing the fullscreen resolution in Options | Video setting | other, to 1280x720, it makes it look ugly but more fps
(if it doesnt work, go to windowed and back to fullscreen)
What I would have done:
Use Linux! Ubuntu and Linux mint are the best for beginners.
Check the comments of the desktop environments to find the best for your PC.
install the chromeos/cloudready from neverware
to fix fydeos, you need to use balena etcher and dont decompress it
chrome os flex is not a tool to install chrome os. It's a separate operating system that unlike chromeos, does not support android apps or dualbooting with Windows.
the problem with classic Minecraft is that even if you have a good pc you still have latency issue
Try KDE Neon and manjaro would like to see how those run
You installed the wrong fyde os version, you you need the first or the second download (idk if you have 3-8 Gen or 9-11 Gen) (you probably have 3-8 Gen so try that first)
linux runs only if you open the terminal and let it boot. on chrome os/chrome os flex. thats why files wont work and it was stuck on that deb file. may take up to 2-5 mins. idk how long for you
if you wanna download minecraft u can use developer mode for it so you can
Can you next try out ghost spectre win 11 in a low end pc?
It would be very helpful
Try doing the same with pure linux, maybe manjaro, or fedora
Can u do a video with the legendary windows 7? On a low end laptop
dan on fyde os to fix not being able to load you need to enter your bios and boot from your ssd and its fixed this worked for me
Can you please review the sol client?
It is a open source free to use client
Does anyone know if this would work on an Intel Core 2 Duo 💀
GOOD VIDEO AS ALWAYS
I started Minecraft on Xbox 360 when it first released so basically I started on 1.4
new video lets go
do f2 and then switch bios from legacy to uefi
if you want arch linux on it use endevour it already have an gui and thats it
Xbox cloud gaming beta and if you have a subscription, you can play it in a browser
Could you make a video please "Installing MX Linux Fluxbox on Low End PC - Best Optimized Linux for Minecraft Java FPS Boost?"
watching this from chromeOS Flex
you should try to install Nexus LiteOS 11, it's a lite version of windows 11, i think it also has the dark mode task manger
I like you Texture pack! whats the name?
you should’ve did Recify 11
I tried FydeOS and I haven’t tried Java Edition. I’ve only played Minecraft Bedrock for Google Play and it was smooth although Keyboard and Mouse didn’t work well but with a Controller it is good.
Could you make an On8x Client setup for Bedrock pliz Notrooo
ChromeOS Flex is basically a school Chromebook since it doesn’t have Google play
I watched another video and I heard from it that ChromeOS Flex doesn’t support Linux, even though it’s in the settings.
could u try out fox os on the low end laptop? I heard its also really good also I recommend u trying out the 1709 or 1809 version
Whenever a img/iso file doesnt want to boot from rufus always try balenaEtcher, for some reason it always works.
Heres a thought, why not just use a lightweight linux distro?
You could have used other download options of fydeOS
You can test raspberry pi os desktop
The amount of money this guy milked his low end laptop is insane
It has been my dream to play on NotroClient but im on macbook so it doesnt work for me :( so if you can make a vid on how to get NotroClient on macbook i would appreciate it so much
If you have an Intel mac, you can just dualboot macOS and Windows, either manually or with Bootcamp.
I'm gonna take a while guess and say you forgot to enable virtualization in your bios.
aw comeon almost the first
What are your packs and shaders in your videos?
BSL Shaders
Thank you very much. Do you mind me asking who made your channel art and skin?
just use something like zorin lite or pop os and it would worked fine
Try using the OS that didn’t work in a VM it may be because the BIOS could be too old
My linux container installed first go. Might have been something to do with your internet?
I also could not access Linux. The same thing happened to me.
Cool new vud
Linux mint is light wait and simple and supports Minecraft
Thanks for good video, and thanks for destroying my laptop
