Can you install macOS in some shape, form, or fashion using Linux? Turns out, the answer is yes and one sharp developer has a Github repo dedicated to this very task. That said, I was sitting at my desk the other day when a crazy thought popped into my head. For me, it’s mostly a matter of trying for the sake of trying. I know I’m an outlier and I know that most users have zero desire to install non-native software on a Chromebook and that’s totally okay. While it didn’t require Linux, we even figured out how to use iMessage on a Chromebook simply because we could. Over the past couple of years, I’ve installed a wide variety of Linux applications, desktop environments, various Linux distros, and even a full-blown Windows installation. Why? Why not? Since Google was kind enough to add a Linux container to ChromeOS, I feel it is my duty to tinker as much as I can to see just how far I can push our favorite operating system. To Powerwash your Chromebook, click on your profile picture in the lower right-hand corner and navigate to Settings > Advanced > Reset > Powerwash.Another day, another opportunity for me to do something absolutely irrational with my Chromebook. It's similar to the new Reset and Refresh functionality in Windows 10.
It'll delete locally stored user data and restore the Chromebook back to its factory state, but it won't reinstall the operating system. The Powerwash is akin to hitting a factory reset button. Try a Powerwashīefore taking the drastic step of reinstalling the entire operating system, why not first see if the Powerwash feature can remedy the problem? In any of these cases, you might need to completely reinstall the operating system. Perhaps you tried installing Linux and something went awry, maybe you went poking around in the Developer Mode and made an irreversible change, or perhaps you got unlucky and downloaded a Canary Build that crashed the system. More often than not, the cause can be traced back to the user. That said, things do still occasionally go wrong.
