Running Joplin Desktop for Linux on ChromeOS

magian · 2022-09-11T12:30:18.133Z

Just in case there are any folks out there who are insterested, I have setup my small and portable Lenovo Chromebook Duet to run the full Joplin Desktop app. I can also run the Android version on this device, but why settle for that when I can get the full verson?

I cannot run the AppImage version because the Duet uses an Arm processor, but the Flatpak version runs fine.

Enable Linux on device.
Enable Flatpak on ChromeOS: Flatpakâthe future of application distribution
Open the Linux terminal and install Joplin: Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux

Have fun!

I've been able to install it on my Chromebook, but when I open it up, all the icons are messed up in their display. They look like this:

All the graphics are segmented and it's hard to work in the app.

I've tried reinstalling and the same thing happens. Does anyone have a fix or have any idea what's going on?
