That here means you are not yet ready (in your knowledge level) for that job. Hacking a chromebook is currently not a very smooth and kind of buggy process because of the very closed architecture, so it is NOT for beginners.
Ok maybe you want to explain me, or point me, to a text or a page that can explain me how to do that, without obligation?
If it is a NTFS partition you did not install Manjaro on it in the first place. So I don’t know about your initial statement
You probably start the live USB or something.
You already have some bullet points and some links in the first posts before the offtopic. The rest is research. The forum is not a google replacement, you know. Especially for complicated stuff. And for the record, i have not done it personally. I looked how it is done and decided it is not worth it for my usage case.
Questionable, cause stock chromebooks do not boot from usb. And so far he did not explain what exactly he did. So he probably did … nothing so far.
He was talking about starting it from Windows on a real computer, and everything was OK.
Exactly the point. Chromebooks a more like smartphones. Not a standart pc. And i do not think he got the difference.

This is`good, you are been already very esaustive.
Exactly.
ntfs is a proprietary Microsoft filesystem and does not store UNIX/POSIX permissions and file ownership. GNU/Linux is a UNIX/POSIX system and needs a filesystem that supports this kind of metadata.
If you are new to GNU/Linux, then the recommended filesystem is ext4. There are better ones, but they are also far more complex. So best is to use ext4.

But how could you start Manjaro from your real PC? As far as we know if the partition you supposedly installed Manjaro on it is NTFS, then you did not install Manjaro on it, you can not install Manjaro on a NTFS partition.

Yes, you can, and I’ve seen people here at the forum who, in their ignorance, did exactly that.
But of course, it would not work properly once the installation procedure is over. There would already be problems upon the first boot because of the missing permissions and file ownership information. It would be utterly unusable, in every sense of the word.

But that is not what he says, he says everything was OK, he even did some customization, how so? You may be able to copy the files from the installer then (how is that even allowed in Calamares?), but it would not work to boot it and you could not work on it.
Well, he might THINK everything is ok. Or he might just be joking with us out of boredom and the whole topic could be a lemon. Who knows.

That’s a good question, but we don’t know what he saw on his screen, what he did, or what he thinks he did.
If calamares does still allow such a scenario, then that’s a major design flaw. But on account of booting, it might boot up — most likely with lots of errors, but those might have been obscured by plymouth — and the initial configuration of the desktop doesn’t really rely on permissions or file ownership.
The kernel would most likely regard everything as root-owned and having 777 permissions.
On the other hand, it could also be that he has created an ntfs partition, then wrote the installer image onto that partition — overwriting it with the ISO filesystem in the process — and then think that this is an installation.
Either way, then we’re not even addressing the very special nature of a Chromebook yet and how that differs from a normal computer.
Does anyone happen to recall the punch-line from that classic WordPerfect Helpline story that’s been bouncing around the Internet for the last thirty years?
It might somehow be appropriate, in this case.

I do, but I don’t want to be so… coarse.

Of course not;
there’s a polite Wiki article that should substitute nicely;

I actually hadn’t, but it’s brilliant, assuming I found the one you’re referring to. And in at least one case I know directly, part of that is the truth.
Personal experience:
You need to still have the power plugged in as well as the aerial. It’s not instead of. That’s why there’s no picture on the screen.

If you’re still following your own thread;
You might benefit from using a Translator instead of trying to use English directly. I do not only mean for correct spelling; although that is also important; but for the sake of good communication.
Always remember that on a forum such as this, it’s very likely that others are already translating English to their own language (in their heads), so it’s easy to misunderstand intended meanings.
Using a Translator might help to minimise confusion.
Cheers.
