On the OSCAR download page, there are links to the Chromebook download and instructions.

Also, it works just fine on the Chromebook.

You have enlightened me for sure. I have a Chromebook and a Windows computer and did not think it worked with a Chromebook.

Oscar / Sleepyhead did not work with Linux in the past, but the Oscar team did a lot of work to ensure compatibility with Chromebooks and other computers running Linux. Be sure to read the instructions to get a clean installation.

* Oscar help
* An alternative to Oscar - try SleepHQ

Yup, OSCAR now runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi. Most of the bases are covered now.

Oscar has always worked on Linux (Ubunto) and SleepyHead has supported Linux well before Oscar.

The Oscar team has expanded the number of Linux distros it works with, and added support for Chromebooks and Raspberry Pi.
