Quit 99, Bought a ARM Chromebook to prevent relapse, and now have hours of 3 time...
So you need wine to play 99 on a chromebook right?
And you can't install wine on an ARM chromebook right? I get error messages trying to install wine, I made a copy of my own legitimate iso's but don't see how I could install 99 but there's no point if I need wine and can't have it. I'm gonna be working nightshifts and have bags of free time, help me relapse lol, or at least rule out once and for all it's not possible... | ||

I think you have 2 options here, regular WINE iirc does not and will not run on a ARM Chromebook, however you can find success using Crouton installing it on the linux OS by enabling developer mode. Should work fine from there on out. You can also just buy some years old i5 or i7 laptop off something like Facebook Marketplace, there is a bunch I have seen for only $100, of course YMMV depending on your area.

Apparently I have DEBIAN GNU/Linux 10 (buster) It has the default chome os, but I use linux by opening up this command line looking thing that's apparently called Penguin. Is Crouton a different version of linux? Can I overwrite/have both versions of linux under the hood while still keeping the default Chrome OS I've grown used to? Do I enable developer mode now, or I'd be doing that once I have Crouton? | |||

Here you go my man, this is a nice complete guide on how to:

I have limited expertise with chromebooks, especially the ARM ones so I apologize. I just know its possible with those types but have never messed with it myself and didnt know the limitations. It does look like youre kinda SOL with the type of chromebook youre running. The only suggestion would be like I mentioned before, a cheap i series laptop from some years ago which will be more than capable of running p99. Another option is some offbrand windows based tablets which can be had for $80-100ish. You could switch to a intel based one too, but then I would ask why not just a regular windows laptop?
