CTOnews.com, April 12, Google released ChromeOS Flex for PC and Mac devices a year ago. It is a cloud-first modern operating system launched by Google, with low hardware requirements, security, quick response, and easy to deploy and manage.

However, at the beginning of the release, the Chromebook recovery utility required to write USB was not compatible with Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint, and Google recently updated its support page to allow Linux users to also make USB boot disks.

According to Google's official prompts, you need to download a ZIP file, and then extract the 6.9GB BIN file, so you need at least a 8GB USB drive. If you use a USB 2.0 device, you may have to wait half an hour for the entire write process, and if you use a USB 3.0 device, the write time will be reduced accordingly.

The official introduction to CTOnews.com is as follows:

For administrators who are accustomed to creating bootable USB drives using the dd command line utility or other third-party utilities.

On your device, download the latest ChromeOS Flex installer image.

Use your preferred extraction tool to extract the file.

Insert the flash drive. Be sure to remove all other removable media.

Create an installer. If you are using a third-party utility, refer to the product documentation. If you use the dd command line utility on a Linux device, do the following:

Open the terminal or the command line.

Write the image to USB using the following command:

Sudo dd if=image_name.bin of=/dev/sdN bs=4M status=progressimage_name.bin refers to the name of the downloaded installer file

/ dev/sdN refers to the path of the U disk.
