It assumes general knowledge of the below:īasic general knowledge of Linux systems (i.e., changing directories, listing all files in directories) This will run through the steps used setup the Pixelbook / Chromebook (I have Pixelbook) for programming in Python using the Anaconda Distribution. We can now use Chromebooks for data science or quantitative research using Chromebooks with the introduction of Linux Debian distribution via the Crostini add-on in Chrome OS! This provides us with a hybrid solution of being able to perform intitial data explorations and training simple models locally before transitioning to Google CoLab for more heavy duty number crunching! See my post on Introduction to Google Colab for more details. Make ChromeOS shortcuts function in Terminalĭownloading & installing the Anaconda Distribution of PythonĪdding Anaconda3 distribution to the Linux PATH Include stretch_backports to your Crostini distribution If you’re interested, check out the new in-browser tool here and read the official blog post for more information.Installing Linux Debian (i.e., Crostini) on the Pixelbook And it’s a win for all consumers for software to become more and more hardware-agnostic. With my recent tinkering around with Chrome Extensions and web apps, I can see this being really useful for me. But this is a great, lightweight option for when you’d rather keep the VMs off.Įither way, I certainly won’t complain about another tool coming to Chromebooks. As long as you’re ok with using Crostini (and if you’re developing on a Chromebook, you probably are) then I’d stick with VSCode on Linux for now.
With these programming languages, you’ll get the Good experience plus rich single file completions, semantic highlighting, syntax errors, and more.īest: For many “webby” languages, such as JSON, HTML, CSS, and LESS, the coding experience in v is nearly identical to the desktop (including Markdown preview!).Īs you’d expect, it requires an internet connection to work. Using a Tree-sitter syntax tree, we’re able to provide additional experiences such as Outline/Go to Symbol and Symbol Search for popular languages such as C/C++, C#, Java, PHP, Rust, and Go.īetter: The TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python experiences are all powered by language services that run natively in the browser. Good: For most programming languages, v gives you code syntax colorization, text-based completions, and bracket pair colorization. In fact, according to Microsoft, your experience will range from good to best depending on how “webby” you are. The terminal and debugger are also unavailable, which means this version of Code is probably meant for web developers more than anyone else.
