Me when the
en To be honest, does not work how i like, tried installing BlendOS on my FydeOS after i realized 99% of apps i use will refuse to work on ChromeOS/Chromium-based operating systems, But it gave me "This USB is unsupported" Real useful-ness but i guess it depends on what ChromeOS device you really have, Like example: Lenovo chromebooks or etc, Im only giving it 3 stars since it would totally work on other devices, but just not mine :sad:

en Works like an absolute charm. For those who it didn't work its because its a school chromebook and you will nee to do some adjustments but generally for a normal user this programm works perfect. Just DONT move the usb not even a little bit you will need to restart the process

en I'm trying to figure out where the ChromeOS recovery tool downloads images files to because the image it downloaded is too big for my c drive, and I need to delete said file, but it isn't in my downloads folder obviously, so where would it have been put?

en Excellent for what I wanted! I bought a cheap Chromebook awhile ago and I realized I still had it. So I used a spare sd to put Linux on it. It works perfect to dual boot besides the files being lost. My only issue is how can you read the sd/usb without resetting it

de Wer lesen kann und es tut, ist klar im Vorteil. Man wird zuerst gefragt, welches Chromebook man wiederherstellen will. Habe aber gar keins, sondern nur ein x86 Laptop. Darum also "Google Chrome OS Flex" als Modell wählen. Das hatte ich erst überlesen.
