    Can I install it on my Chromebook? I have a Dell Chromebook 11 3180 from a reseller. He did mention about having no audio since it running Chrome Flex. I was wondering if there some issues should I try to install it. What about drivers? Considering my Chromebook have no sounds (had to rely on USB speakers for audio) I have doubts to try installing it.

    Works really well on my Dell Inspiron 7306 2-in-1 laptop. However, when I try to install the Linux subsystem, it says I have to update Chrome OS, and every time I try to update Chrome OS, it says its up to date. However, I have no such problem with Chrome OS Flex.
    Also with Fyde OS, you can install the Play Store by installing Open Gapps, but you have to get it certified to use the Play Store.

    FYI: I have an iMac Intel 8th generation where I installed a time ago ChromeOS Flex, which works fine with some small issues. I thought it is time to upgrade to ChromeOS. So I downloaded the Intel 6-9 version. Everything works fine, the installed USB stick starts up until the ChromeOS logo comes up, stays there and from a clear logo it changes to a faint logo and it hangs there. It doesn't go any further. So I think this solution is not suitable for Apple iMac. Still, thank you and congratulations for the clear and concise explanation

      the video tutorial is great and i appreciate the work given to people who can benefit from it , however the video for other savvy people is misleading as there is no information about where the roms come from ( what chrome os boards )
      To answer your questions yes you can try any of the given 3 roms in the links and test them , i myself tested few roms from the official google roms that were destined for 6th all the way to 11th gen CPU and few of them worked flawless on 3rd gen CPU
      if you want more accurate information i suggest you go to official Brunch website , instead of having it from guys making youtube videos
      naming few roms to their liking and calling it " help " however good their intention is .
