An acer c720p chromebook to be more precise. So is there a version that works or do I have to compile it into a certain format?

There’s a thing called [Crouton](https://www.linux.com/learn/how-easily-install-ubuntu-chromebook-crouton%20) that installs linux on your Chromebook, and linux has CDDA and Steam.

If you don’t want to do that, you could install an SSH client, there’s a great Chrome [extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo?hl=en), and you could SSH to r7st’s watchcdda server or [roguenex.us](http://roguenex.us).

No tiles or sound though.

(But multiplayer (sorta) and people can watch you play on watchcdda.)

Are there any risked to using crouton to install the Linux os? Also if I do decide to do that this will be my first time actually interacting with a Linux system.

No risk as far as I can tell. When you have it running you can switch back and forth between ChromeOS and Linux by just pressing shift+ctrl+forward and back.

Crouton is an awesome way to turn a hundred dollar email box into a Steam running powerhouse.

Mine had 16g of hdd though, so maybe power shack rather.
