Installing QGIS on a Chromebook

It is possible to install the Ubuntu Linux operating system on a Chromebook via Crouton (https://chromebook.guide/crouton/). This essentially creates a dual boot environment allowing you to switch between the Chrome OS and Ubuntu very quickly with some keyboard strokes. Once Crouton is set up, QGIS can be installed via the preceding Ubuntu QGIS install processes. 

While Chromebooks are relatively cheap, they are weak, if not lacking, in hardware such as graphic cards. Therefore, while it is possible to install QGIS on a Chromebook, we would suggest that doing so is for hobbyists looking to explore/test the capabilities of this union and that it would not be suitable for production environments.
