Chromebook Linux App Deployment

[mikeglover]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone been able to successfully deploy Linux Apps to managed Chromebooks?

I've been asked to deploy Musescore which is a linux application as well as Windows and Mac and to install it on Chromebooks.

I've started looking at enabling Linux on chromebooks which is still Beta. But I don't see any management stuff in the Google Workspace Admin Console to push out applications.

I feel that getting Windows laptops is going to be much simpler in this scenario but I've been asked to try and get it working with Chromebooks we already have.

Last time I looked at this there wasn't a gui to deploy applications.

As long as you can get sshd installed, you can manage them with Ansible.
