I've installed ubuntu with crouton (version 12.04 of ubuntu) and wonder if there's a chance I can install games like hearthstone on it, and if so, how? I'm aware that it's not a laptop for games and such, but would be really intrested in trying it out. The version of the chromebook is a Samsung XE503C12-K02SE

Thanks

  • But is it possible to download wine on my chromebook? – Nayanda Dec 01 '14 at 19:10
  • Yes you can run Windows Software with wine on chromebook – LostLife Dec 01 '14 at 19:12
  • Ye, but i read something about that it was only possible for chromebooks with ARM proccesors or something, when I try "sudo apt-get install wine" it tells me: "E: Packadge 'wine' has no installation candidate" – Nayanda Dec 01 '14 at 19:38
  • WINE does not and will not work on the ARM Chromebook, as Windows executables are i386/x64, and WINE runs them directly (it is not an emulator). It works fine on x86-based Chromebooks using the version in the repositories. Hope this helps, If your question is answered please marked it as solved. – LostLife Dec 01 '14 at 19:41
  • So there's no common apps like wine I can use or so? – Nayanda Dec 01 '14 at 19:50
