Title: Using Scribus on Chromebook
Post by: sanshields on August 16, 2023, 02:05:39 PM
Hello there.

I am new to this today and wonder if you can help me, please. Can I use Scribus on a Chromebook? And can I use Scribus on a tablet?

Look forward to hearing.

Many thanks

I haven't tried i.
Seems like if you can get linux running on it it should work. I think it is debian based so it should be in the repos and inkscape, gimp, etc ...
I should give this a try myself.

As far as I understand, some Chromebooks have a Linux compatibility layer:

On those devices you can install Scribus.
