I've installed Linux on an HDD but I'm not able to work on it by my Chromebook

I’m not sure whether Chromebooks can boot from an external drive. It appears to be looking for a filesystem image, but an installed Manjaro system is not a filesystem image anymore.

Furthermore, Wikipedia has this to say about Chromebooks… :point_down:

Either way, you will have to look into the documentation/manual of your Chromebook. This is not a generic x86-64 machine.

Furthermore, as @omano brought up, if your Chromebook uses an ARM-based processor — personally, I don’t know whether that is the case — then you won’t be able to run an x86-64 system on it.


Interesting point. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Indeed, it can’t and it won’t.


Exactly. It’s a pretty locked-down device by default, and cracking it open is not for the faint of heart, just as Manjaro itself is not a suitable distribution for absolute beginners.

@Luke90, please read the following essay… :point_down:


Laris is a Romulan female who served at Jean-Luc Picard’s winery in France as his housekeeper, and who later on became his lover, about a year and a half after her husband Zhaban had passed away.
