Since your Chromebook is in Developer Mode, it will take an extra 30 seconds to boot up, since it shows you the Developer Mode message. You either deal with a few tinier buttons or you go to a more standard resolution.
The Crouton wiki has a few options for fixing this, though none are quite perfect. If you're on a high resolution display like the Chromebook Pixel, your icons will be very, very tiny. The Downloads folder in Chrome OS is the same as the Downloads folder on the Linux desktop, so if you download or create a file in one environment, you can put it in the Downloads folder to make it available in the other as well. If you're using XFCE, you should disable the screensaver, which can cause graphics issues in Chrome OS. If you're on an ARM-based Chromebook, not all apps will be compatible. You'll find that even a lot of default Ubuntu tools are left out, so you'll have to install them yourself using apt-get. Your desktop won't come with very many programs installed. To exit the Linux desktop, just log out of it like you would on a normal PC-you'll close it completely and go back to Chrome OS (after which you can run sudo startxfce4 again to go back). In the latter case, you will also need to press Ctrl+Alt+Refresh after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Forward to bring up the desktop.
Clicking it once it’s fully rolled out will show ‘ChromeOS’ by default, and you can type in whatever you wish.Now, you can switch back and forth between Chrome OS and Ubuntu usingCtrl+Alt+Shift+Back and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Forward (if you're on an ARM-based Chromebook) or Ctrl+Alt+Back and Ctrl+Alt+Forward (If you're on an Intel-based Chromebook). Near the bottom, of the page, a ‘Device name’ option will eventually exist. The image above is actually showing off the ability to set the hostname directly through the Settings app under ‘About Chrome OS’. Luckily, Android Police just uncovered a bunch of r epository commits that show it’s still alive and kicking.

Now, Chrome OS is gaining a new feature which will allow users to update their device hostname as well, simplifying much of this going forward. Primarily, though, it’s a way to identify your specific device while troubleshooting network issues and such. You’ve long since been able to change your hostname on other operating systems, and for those who don’t use their devices on a network or shared server, it can be a fun way to feel a sense of ownership over it.
Not only that, but computers can be located by others this way, and can interface with them through a network. A hostname is used to distinguish devices within a local network.
