I’ve done what was suggested and got Defold to finally open on my Chromebook Plus however, I’ve been getting error messages when I build my defold project.
What architecture is that chromebook? We only support x86_64-linux, not arm64-linux.
This is a Asus chromebook plus cx34 and I’m not sure if the linux on this device is x86_64 or arm64.
A quick google suggests it’s an intel cpu, so it should be possible to run the tools.
What tool is it trying to run? Can you run the tool from a command line? What does it say ?

Just a quick note, I finally got Defold fully working, building, .etc on my Chromebook. Acer Spin 714. Installed Linux as per default instructions, installed Defold, set execute permissions on binaries in the Defold folder AND in the .Defold folder off of your user folder (.Defold is hidden). If you want to fly without any parachute just use chmod +x -R * in those folders to get everything able to execute.
I can now build and run Linux build of my game, but if I build an Android build, that WON’T run when side loaded onto my Chromebook. (Defold cannot install it) Unclear why right now… I’m looking into that issue.

With the new Snapdragon X and windows coming out soon, maybe arm64 needs to be reconsidered soon. Recent reviews say it blows mac books out of the water.
Yes, we will look into arm64 support for Windows (and Linux) at some point. I can’t say when, it will take some time before it becomes popular enough to warrant the invested time.
Perhaps. I suppose you need a boost in CPU power to process all of those screenshots
