r/ChromeOSFlex

After downloading from Chromebook Recovery Utility, I transferred the USB in my laptop, and tried to boot it from the file (bootx64.efi). It opens up GNU GRUB version 2.12, and there's these options:

local image A

local image B

verified image A

verified image B

Alternate USB Boot

After trying all the options, all of them shows the same black screen result. Tried to Escape + Refresh + Power multiple times, but nothing works.

It would be nice if someone could help me on this🙏

So running into issues with some video formats showing black screen.

H.265 doesn't work, just black screen.

Subtitles don't work and can't be managed.

Any way to get a better video player?

I've heard about VLC, but my system says no linux support.

I had an older chromebook and eventually had support for vlc.

Is google holding features back for flex?

I have a really old laptop from the 2009/2010

ASUS X52F

I have windows installed on it but it's extremely slow because it can't handle windows anymore.

I am trying to install the Chrome Os Flex on it. I used the recovery utility tool from Chrome and installed it on a USB drive. Now im trying to boot it, but it just doesn't go through.

I can see the drive in the Boot Page. I also have UEFI Boot option enabled.

When i click on save and the windows attempt to restart, a cursor shows up on the top-left corner of the screen and it doesn't do anything.

Anyone had an issue like this before?

Folks, my aging HP Envy 15t k100 laptop from a previous life is running absolutely stunning on KUbuntu 26.04

But is there any advantage I can gain by installing ChromeOSFlex over Kubuntu?

My primary usage of this device currently is for applying for jobs on LinkedIn, so some light editing documents (resume). I also do some very light programming in antigravity (it has new 16GB ram DDR3) ram. But that's it. I don't watch videos or listen to music since the laptop is very old.

I maybe getting a new laptop but I want to maybe turn this into something useful when I do my programming on another laptop. So is there any advantage I can get using chromeos over the Kubuntu that it currently has?

is this normal for chromeosflex to take this much storage!

Anyone ever tried ChromeOS Flex on a uncertified device? I have a Lenovo Yoga 510 and I want to try ChromeOS Flex on it. Does it have touch drivers, and is it stable?
