Chrome OS 81 to allow Linux username selection for Crostini
I’m not judging but apparently, some Chromebook users have some strange email addresses. And by strange, I mean they don’t allow you to set up the default user when installing Linux in Chrome OS.
I’m joking a little here. However, this is a real issue for certain Gmail addresses because it’s that account that’s used to create the default user.
For example, my gmail account is kctofel@gmail.com and so my user account for Linux on my Chromebook is kctofel.
I’m sure there a very few users overall affected by this but there’s good news for them, and for anyone else who wants to have a custom username for Linux on a Chromebook: Chrome OS 81 should have a fix.
I may choose “batman” so I can be batman@penguin.
