crouton with ubuntu focal fossa (GNOME not working and other issues)

us flag

so recently i tried installing focal fossa on my chromebook with GNOME. (i did it because what do you expect xenial is dead. so yeah. it did not install right the first time but my next try worked... when i entered GNOME with sudo startgnome it entered gnome but all it was was a old ubuntu cursor for a bit and later on out off no where it crashed... i almost gave up saying it was just not gonna work but i managed to get XFCE working on focal but i did not get sound working. the code i used was sudo crouton -t xfce -r bionic. over all the OS was working fine. i checked other distros and they had the same sound issue. and issue with GNOME. i used kali rolling and it actually logged into gnome. but, barely because i got a crash on my end and had to control w out off the screen to return to chrome OS. (i did try using audio when installing buster but it did not want to work. too. (i think i need extra stuff to add to the install??) but anyways besides the audio i think this is an issue with 2D graphics or the x server (i tried xorg and xiwi) but i dont even get to the chroot at all... im not sure if this is an issue with crouton, xorg, GNOME, or anything else listed. but if i did not include something in the install that MIGHT get GNOME working, please tell me as it will really help.

Don't forget GNOME has higher resource requirements than XFCE, even a fully GTK3 XFCE and not the *bionic* or GTK2 version of XFCE you say works.

gnome was working on xenial but was kinda slugish.. also from my exp on normal pc's modern GNOME shell actually runs faster. so if modern gnome is faster i could just turn off animations and then it will be fine also i had cinnamon working on xenial too and it was working just like how GNOME did. it also worked on bionic so to my assumes, there should be no problem with GNOME on focal i know this because cinnamon is basically gnome on sterioids...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
