It’s unclear when, but in the time since release, Google has decided to allow people to download the installer image and write it to a USB using the dd command-line utility on Linux devices.

You can read the date yourself. Given that they've been the worst MS/Windows shills ever, I should give them credit for even writing about ChromeOS Flex.

Also, I find it impossible to believe that I was the first to do that.

1. Open Crosh
Wondering how to use Crosh? You won't find it in the regular list of apps in your Chromebook's app drawer. To open Crosh, you need to press Ctrl + Alt + T, which will launch the terminal window in a new tab.

Very few people know that ChromeOS (and the Chrome browser on other operating systems) has its own task manager. It shows you what processes are eating through your CPU and memory. You can find it by opening Chrome and going to More (three vertical dots) > More Tools > Task Manager.

However, even fewer people know that ChromeOS has a secondary task manager hidden in Crosh. You can use it to learn about low-level processes that don't show up in the main task manager app. You can access it by simply typing this cool little Crosh command:

Code: Select all
