Are Chromebooks compatible with MuseScore?
That's what I was wondering. (If this is in the wrong forum, then move it please).

Via Crouton?

The hard part is getting crouton set up in the first plac,e but once you do, running MuseScore is a piece of cake. You *might* need to fiddle a bit to get playback working; that much seems to vary between systems.

I think it will be better if you have at least 4Gb of RAM. My Chromebook has 32Gb of storage and I appreciate that so I have room to install other apps in Crouton/Linux.
The only downsides I have seen are that
(1) playback sound has crackles and pops on my system. And using a larger soundfont is worse.
(2) Also I haven't found a way that Crouton/Linux desktop can easily/directly access Google Drive (although Grive may be the solution), so I save all my work to an SD card that stays in the slot all the time. I can access that storage from Linux and Chrome OS.
(3) you first have to put your Chromebook in developer mode, which makes it less secure.
Thanks for your responses.
I already know not to buy a chrome book.
