Majority of Chromebooks run on Linux. However, administrators have blocked the option to turn on Linux developer environment in the settings. Is there anyway to be able to download Anki without powerwashing my Chromebook? I just don’t want to get in trouble for powerwashing my Chromebook. Although I think that there’s a chance that I could get away with it, I don’t want to risk. There are also school-administrated apps on my Chromebook that need to stay on it. ---
