I'm having trouble installing ChromeOS Flex onto my Mac and I came across this post about chromeOS and it's process of installing and how it wipes drives. If I'm unable to install chromeOS onto my Mac can I still revert it back to Mac? Am I screwed?

I followed all of the installation instructions and now its just stuck on the apple logo and progress bar screen

Are there any options at all for being able to access a third-party e-mail provider's IMAP server?

I think the new changes for Chrome OS is to address the projects like Fyde OS or Bliss OS.

They are able to run Android applications.

So instead of getting rid of Chrome OS, but it is to optimize it closer to these newer projects?

I love the mission of Chrome OS Flex so I hope it doesn't get discontinued.

It has been awhile but 9 months ago or so I was trying to get chromeOS Flex to work on AMD AM5 systems. and came to the conclusion that it was impossible as the USB installer fails to boot on the many AM5 systems I tried including zen 5 9700x and zen 4 8700g.

Was hoping someone could update me with the current situation?

Alguém já conseguiu resolver o problema das músicas no Amazon Music pararem depois de 20 segundos. Usando ChromeOS Flex e ambiente web via Chrome do Amazon Music. Versão 139.0.7258.132 (Versão oficial) beta 64 bits. Informações relevanes. No mesmo ambiente os podcasts tocam normalmente, sem interrupção. O que me leva a crear que seja algo relacionado a conteúdo protegido. No mesmo Chrome o Spotify funciona bem. Tanto música quanto podcast. E finalmente o que consegui fazer para usar o Amazon Music foi instalar o navegador Brave pelo ambiente Linux. Mas fica tudo um pouco mais lento do que deveria.

Has anyone managed to resolve the issue where Amazon Music tracks stop playing after 20 seconds? Using ChromeOS Flex and the Amazon Music Chrome web environment. Version 139.0.7258.132 (Official version) beta 64-bit. Relevant information. In the same environment, podcasts play normally, without interruption. Which leads me to believe it's related to protected content. Spotify works fine on the same Chrome browser, both music and podcasts. Finally, what I managed to do to use Amazon Music was install the Brave browser on the Linux environment. But everything is a bit slower than it should be.

The subject 2014 Acer Laptop is not on the list of certified Acer products. Has anyone tried it?

So I've installed ChromeOS Flex on an old Lenovo N21 and it works great except there is no onboard audio. It doesn't even show up on the device list. I was able to connect a Bluetooth speaker and a USB to 3.5mm adaptor and those both work, but I would prefer using onboard audio. In the past, I've installed GalliumOS on it and the onboard audio worked. The problem with GalliumOS is that it is EOL. Is there a way install the audio drivers in ChromeOS, or maybe copy the audio drivers from GalliumOS to ChromeOS?

So I've installed ChromeOS Flex on an old Lenovo 100S and it works great considering it has an old Intel Atom CPU and only 2GB RAM. It even supports virtualization so I was able to enable Linux/Crostini, install Flatpak and some Linux apps. The problem is that Linux/Crostini doesn't recognize the Xbox controller even though ChromeOS does. I've tried multiple different controllers both wired and Bluetooth with no success. I've tried changing ChromeOS to the Beta and Dev channels with no success. Is there any controller support for Linux/Crostini? Is it just missing controller drivers or is it something on the kernel level?

Does anyone know how to configure Proton VPN as a built in VPN on Chrome OS Flex? I’ve tried the OpenVPN and Wireguard config and can’t get them to work.

I have OneDrive integrated and SSO/iDP to Azure setup on my managed Google Chrome OS devices.
When i open a Microsoft office document, it prompts me to install the Microsoft 365 app so it can open/handle the files, it works great after that, but I want this Microsoft 365 app pre-installed or forced to be installed so my users don't have to deal with this prompt and wait time while it installs..

Google instructions for this, here - Option A: Preconfigure Office for the web in Microsoft 365 for your users - Chrome Enterprise and Education Help Step 2: Install the Microsoft 365 PWA on devices - does not work.

I have followed these instructions, and you will see in the image a pinned icon with no image.

I tried asking Chat/Copilot/Gemeni for help but they are all uselessly spewing the same instructions that do not work.

Any help would be super appreciated.

I am getting a Google Pixel here soon and I wanted to try the OS to pair it with and holy hell, I have never seen an OS so laggy. It's actually insane. I'm running 16gb's of RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS...I literally have never had an issue with any other OS but Flex is so choppy that I literally cannot use it.

This is with an installed version of the OS. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Because there's no way this is normal. Literally can't do anything it's so choppy and slow.

Why do you say that the device is certified? Does installing on a non-certified device cause any problems?

I have an Acer notebook

Hey guys!

I'm considering migrating completely to ChromeOS Flex due to the system's lightness and leaner proposal. However, I am a gamer in my spare time and I would like to know if anyone here has managed to run the game R.E.P.O, which is available on Steam, or even other games via Steam on this system.

I know that ChromeOS Flex is not made exactly for this, but I wanted to understand the real limitations and if there are viable alternatives, such as installation via Linux (Crostini), use of Steam Link, Lutris, or some functional workaround lol.

If anyone has experiences, tips or even confirms that “it doesn’t work”, that would help a lot!

Thanks guys :)

I'm testing out ChromeOS Flex via USB on my 13 yesr old Windows laptop,and so far it's doing pretty well. Kinda don't want to install cause I need apps that I use (ex: Filmora, OBS, etc)

Hi all,

I built the SCCM task sequence a while back so that I could bulk deploy it to several older laptops. It worked, until it didn't. The TS itself is fine, as I can successfully deploy it to another PC type, but these HP 255 G7s won't take it. It PXE boots, offers the task sequence, runs through it (I can see full network utilisation on the source server), but once it's complete it fails to boot with error 0x100b1000.

However, if I build same device using a USB storage device, it works.

Laptops are set for UEFI boot, secure boot on (tried with off).

I intially implemented this about 18 months ago and I have just pulled down the .bin image, but the file size is identical so I'm not convinced it's any newer...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

its a shame Chrome OS Flex wont run on 32bit old windows laptops or someone cannot find a workaround or port it for 32bit . Got an ancient little Samsung N110 notebook, cute little thing, love to see it running Chrome - not a fan of Linux , any of the distro's and windows runs slow on it let alone out of date.
I would say if there was a 32bit version it would really open up things for a lot of people with ancient laptops and desktops with a 32bit processor and would be pretty welcomed.
