hi,
i got a lenovo duet 2020,
afair, ankidroid do work when CrOS is using container technology.
Currently every CrOS is in VM virtual machine technology.
I have installed several ankidroid from play store, F-droid, github etc.
All halt when i simply tap into settings and wanna scroll.
It didn’t scroll, it sucks.
previously i asked that it’s xxxking hard to install anki on arm linux,
as some libraries are NA blablabla.
however since i moved to heavily use image occlusion,
my CB dont have tf slot while my phone AND wintab have,
so this is a late solution for me which i dont need now.
The majority of Chromebook users are unaware that they are running Linux, which means they are unable to find the right way to install and use ankidroid instead.
If we are going with this idea, we should include chromebook terms alongside Debian
if your cpu is ARM then your chromebook is incompatible with pc anki…
It is possible, but requires knowledge on python wheels, instructions can be found here
Another reason for an ARM build that don’t relies on python, the instructions can be easy for a user that handles the terminal, but it can be frustrating for non-tech users
Having a build would enable an up to date flatpak build which, although it is unofficial, it is easier to set it up for chromebooks
I’m not particularly keen to advertise Chromebook support. I have no experience with them, ARM64 support is problematic, and the typical Chromebook user is presumably going to struggle with shell commands.
Linus himself suggest that CB helps to blend in. CB s linux are more standardized vs (ubuntu vs mint vs ArchOS vs else). So CB would be a good start for ppl to learn linux.

An arm build could make it possible to recommend flatpak for CB, as they should behave the same as any Linux distribution.

I’m not completely sure I agree. Having spent an inordinate amount of time working on getting Anki to build on ARM linux (and also attempting to get binary bundles working), I think “incompatible” is for all intents and purposes perfectly accurate.
While I’m certainly no genius, Anecdotally, I would definitely not say the instructions are generally easy for anyone who knows the terminal. I would like to claim I’m at least somewhat technical, but who knows.
the link in my #1 post claims it could be done.
i’ll try later.
i fwd here becoz some users there claim they could.
so it could be a solution.
ps, as i told my CB dont have TF slot,
but my samsung a33-5g have.
i use “LAN-drive” app to make my phone act as NAS,
it could share out something as \a33-5g\InternalStorage\xxx
not sure if the CB’s linux’s anki desktop could use that for media…
hi
the link in #1 worked,
i could install 23.12.1 in my lenovo duet CB 2020 /w latest CrOS.
ps: looks like the files are under /home/USER/.local/share/Anki2
looks like i can use NAS or removable tf for this, so i can use my large media collection on CB too.
update 240201T
looks like works well
the old lenovo duet CB 2020,
installed /w anki 2.1.54 qt6
I didn’t sync the media by anki,
i removed the collection.media,
then ln -s the USB into it’s place.
now i just need to buy a smallest USB flash,
then i can use my large collection media /w my CB.
For most Chrome cases, using the web page interface is the only usable solution. One reason I got a used Chromebook, used it for a week, and sent it for recycling.
Just a suggestion: other Chromebook users may not be familiar with this “CB” initialism that you’re using. Perhaps it is better to spell it out so people can find stuff that’s relevant to them, at least in the thread title.
that’s because of the better interaction with HARDWARE keyboard+touchpad, and the ADDONs, as well as I could EDIT/MODIFY exactly as in windows desktop anki.
today i just upgraded the CrOS and the linux environment,
then the 2.1.54-qt6 didn’t run again!
and i tried several days, and it still dont run!
i even asked gpt4 for many several solutions!
help! thanks:
error msg after i type anki:
(my_pyqt_env) xxxx@penguin:~/0-linux-root/anki-2.1.54-linux-qt6$ anki

I love how Linux let you use any system you want, but make sure everything is still being updated (will require changing your base update to latest OpenSUSE leap or tumbleweed)
too complex, i dont even know am i using what venv.
this CB will now just a toy for me,
i’ll have to switch to back to wintab, luckily i got 3 wintab.
thanks
