Aegisub on Chromebook?

Solved
Xynot_59 -  
Hi everyone,
I'm about to buy a laptop for college and I'm considering getting a Chromebook. However, I would like to know if Aegisub is available on ChromeOS via Linux, as it's a software I will need to use often.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

    Hello,
    This software is available in the Debian repositories
    https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=aegisub
    so it can be installed on a Chromebook via the Linux virtual machine. To do this, you first need to enable Linux in the Chrome OS settings and then open the Linux terminal (it's not crosh) and type the following commands: 
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install aegisub aegisub-l10n

    However, think carefully about your needs before your purchase because it is not possible to install software from the Windows world on a Chromebook (the solution using wine is not satisfactory in most cases).

      Thank you very much, I was just worried about Aegisub, the rest will mainly be for note-taking so no worries.
