Dose anyone know a way to run the desktop version of Tor on chromebook without using Linux?

Does anyone know a way to run the desktop version of Tor on a Chromebook without using Linux?
So I know that The Onion Projects suggests that running Tor on Chromebook is a bad experience, but I am still looking for ways to run Tor. I don’t want to use the app store version cause it sometimes breaks and is not like the desktop, and I don’t want to switch to Linux. Does anyone know a way to run the desktop version of Tor on Chrome without using Linux? :thinking:

run the desktop version of Tor on Chrome without using Linux?

I don’t want to use the app store version

No, thats the problem amoung many others things of ChromeOS.
If you want any non play store app (phone app versions) on ChromeOS it has to be installed through linux by enabling the "Linux Development Environment.

Follow this but do these commands instead

Add the tor debian repository by pasting this commands:

Debian Repository | Tor Project | Support

apt install apt-transport-https wget -y
sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
echo "deb     [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
sudo apt update && sudo apt install deb.torproject.org-keyring torbrowser-launcher -y
