In the midst of conversations about Linux on Chrome OS, the subject of a full desktop environment came up and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today. While you can install Linux apps to your heart’s content from the terminal and those apps will have their own GUI (graphical user interface), a lot of users still want to have an actual desktop with shortcuts, widgets and what have you. Personally, I’ve grown to love the fact that Chrome OS doesn’t even have the ability to have a cluttered desktop but I also know that many users have long asked for the ability to add widgets to the desktop and that’s fine but I don’t particularly believe it’s on the roadmap. Linux users who make the switch to Chrome OS may want a desktop environment simply for the familiarity and that’s totally understandable. Therefore, I set out to see if it would be feasible to put and actual Linux desktop on a Chromebook. Here’s what I came up with.
Install KDE: sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop
Launch: starteKDE
