I’ve got an HP Chromebook with Linux Beta installed (crosh?). Is there an easy way I can remove it? Tried google and you tube and it says ctrl alt t then type ‘shell’, but that just comes up as error. Thanks.

Just try ALT T and see if that works without CTRL

Yep seems you have to be in developer mode for it to work, have a little read of this below.

Thanks for your advice. I ended up doing a restore and it’s all working well now. Cheers.
