hi
so i need help with linux. Im on a samsung chromebook and I turned linux on and went to it, it was normal, it had a penguin thing that let me go to the coding thing. After a while I turned it off but now when I turned it on again, I dont see the penguin thing. I dont want to have to reset or anything. Could I get some help?

I think you might have deleted your Linux environment by accident or something.
Just set it up again in the Manage page and reinstall your apps.

Has happened to me where it doesn't launch I'm assuming. Best bet would be to reset it. It is a VM which can have issues. I've had this happen twice to me and resetting Linux was the only way I got it to work.
wicked hamlet
how should I do that
i tried deleting linux then redownloading it but that didn't work

Try opening crosh and using the VM shell to delete create and do stuff with them
You can delete it from there I'm sure
Did you try deleting, rebooting, and install?
wicked hamlet
how do I open crosh?

You should search for a tutorial for deleting VMCs using crosh
