Gaming With Linux

If your ChromeOS Device supports Linux, it can be used to play several popular games that have been ported to Linux as long as the game developer has built the game to work with the CPU architecture of your device and that your device has the minimum hardware requirements that are set by the developers. Linux's support on ChromeOS is still evolving, so there is a potential that hardware acceleration may not work properly on your device when playing Linux games.  

If you wish to learn how to install software on Linux, please see the chapter regarding ChromeOS Linux Support for instructions on how to use Linux and the process of installing software.
