ive done all the steps and changed my channel to Beta, and i still don't see linux in my settings to enable. what else is there to do? i also restarted my computer.
If your device is listed there, it should support Linux apps, but we can't really help you troubleshoot that, as it isn't actually a Zotero issue. See here for some more Linux setup tips: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en
If your device isn't listed there, then your chromebook just doesn't support Linux apps. You will need to change to a different device that does support Linux, macOS, or Windows.
