1) 00:05 (time stamp in the video)
We start the process by enabling the Linux Container on our Chromebook.  You can al
ways remove it again in the future as well if needed.

To enable it, we go to the settings of our Chromebook, inside of it, we click on the "Advance" option in the left panel, and then the "Developers" section. Then enable Linux from there as seen in the video.

Please take note, if you already have Linux eanbled, you can skip this part.

2) 00:35 Now we will open the Linux Terminal, to show that it is on our Chromebook, before we remove it.

3) 01:01 Now we will remove the Linux container as seen in the video.

*All your Linux files and Linux applications will be removed, but you can always enable a brand new Linux container again, in the future.  If needed.

Enjoy!
