I plan on triple booting an old laptop that I recieved for free. I currently have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed and would like to triple boot it with chrome OS and android X86. None of the tutorials I find online about creating a partition don't apply to me. Does anyone know what I should do?

 

Please don't argue with me, I am just trying to help, or be helped. (we are all humans right?)

None of them don't apply, so all of them apply? :P grammar aside, it looks like you'll want to install Chrome OS > Linux > Android in that order, but it'll require some magic to keep Chrome OS from wiping and restoring the drive. That combined with this should get you at least a long way.

Why would you want to triple boot in the first place, and why with such finnicky OSes?

Sorry about my grammar, if it will take so much magic I think I should just keep chrome OS instead of that complicated mess. Thanks!

I was just kidding about the double negative, don't worry :P
