GUI for Debian on a Chromebook
by wendell45 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X53X)
Good Morning...
I have just switched to a chromebook and it has provisions for running Linux as well. I followed the steps and got Linux up and running and have access to the terminal, but cant bring up a GUI. It appears to be Debian. I've done a lot of looking in tutorials but can't seem to hit on the answer to this. My plan is to learn and get proficient in Linux in 2020 and learning the terminal commands might be the best way to learn but I'd like to have a GUI to look at also. If you choose to help, please consider that I'm brand new to Linux and old on top of that.
Thank you,
Wendell
