Is there a way to run FG on a Chromebook? If not, he's said he's alright with sitting the game out, but I'd like to get him in.

Thank you for your time

Unfortinitly from my understanding what ChromeOS is, i would say no. The only OS's currently supported is Windows, MacOS, Steam and Linux. From what i undestand, ChromeOS falls under the Androidish category.

Ive installed it on a Chromebook using the Mac/Wineskin instructions.

I stand corrected then.

See, you learn something new every day :)

Thanks! he said he didn't want to do the Wineskin route, said it sounded over his head, from a IT perspective, but it's good to know.

What is this magic you speak of, wizard? I'm using FGU to teach remote courses, and several of my students only have a Chromebook. Is this feasible for a low-tech person to do? I'm fairly high-tech myself, just mostly outdated knowledge. I'm a fast study, but would I be able to walk a parent through this for their students?
