Here are some common issues and their solutions:
If you can’t drag files over to the Linux Files section, restart your device and try again.
If the OptiFine command isn’t working, type “sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre” (don’t include the quotes) in the terminal and hit enter. Respond to any prompts by pressing “Y” and then hit enter. After that, try the OptiFine command again.

1:50 Pro tip: it's much easier to type "about:flags" in the Chrome about bar. It will automatically redirect to correct location. You can also type "about:settings" and "about:about" for more settings.

It's worth mentioning that if you have ARM CPU in your Chromebook instead of x86-64 compatible CPU, the steps to get Minecraft may be more complex depending on your exact hardware. It's still doable for most hardware but the performance may end up so bad that it's not fun.

[noahwplayz]
