GPU acceleration is a flag under chrome: // flags / # crostini-gpu-support. Some newer Chromebooks support GPU acceleration for Linux apps, so you’ll want to turn it on if it’s available.You can install GIMP with the following commands. First, look for the Linux beta switch in Chrome OS settings (just search for it). Linux setup requires a few extra steps and not all Chromebooks are powerful enough to run GIMP well. However, it is still missing some of the more popular Photoshop features and is a Linux application. The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is the most feature-rich Photoshop alternative available on Chromebooks.That’s partly because it’s just a browser, and most applications run in the browser rather than as standalone applications. Chrome OS has been gaining market share, although it didn’t seem very useful when it was first introduced. In case you missed it, there’s a new competitor in town, Google’s lightweight, browser-based Chrome OS. However, it is not that there are no quality alternatives to Windows applications for Linux. Adobe generally creates software for macOS and Windows, which means Linux users are generally left out. Specifically, Adobe’s PDF document reading and formatting program, its Adobe Premier video editing program and the only option for any professional, Adobe Photoshop. Adobe is behind some very popular applications used by professionals.
