I am, in fact, now running Debian 11 on my Chromebook in the Canary channel. Much to my delight, running sudo apt update reported that the container was pulling code from bullseye InRelease. To be thorough, I restarted my device and tried one last time. I was almost ready to concede that Google’s servers simply weren’t serving the Bullseye image at this time. The second time around, trying to update or upgrade packages left the terminal just sitting there thinking but it wouldn’t do anything else. ![]() After switching to Bullseye and destroying my Linux container, I restarted the terminal and my first run at this didn’t look promising. I clicked the dropdown menu and much to my surprise, I was greeted with options for Stretch (Debian 9), Buster (Debian 10), and Bullseye (Debian 11).

If you have a Chromebook and you’re using Linux, this is likely the version of Debian Linux that you are leveraging. ![]() In March of last year, Google updated the Linux container on Chrome OS from Debian 9 to the current Debian 10 release which is codenamed, Buster. I’m honestly not sure if the Linux environment on Chromebooks is actually being embraced by the masses but the fact remains that “Crostini” adds an entirely new level of productivity and capability to the Chrome operating system.
