Linux - file dialogue boxes...
#3
sigh, someone else with chromebook.  so my advice generally for linux will be astray.

usually it requires zenity installed.  (which uses gtk gui toolkit.)  if not yad.  (which uses qt instead.)

try opening a terminal and entering "zenity" to fire a program.  if it says "not found."  then i don't know what else to tell you.  if that happens.  then chromebook is much weirder than the few things i've read from other people.

if "crostini" is a container.  that allows full-featured linux to run.  then zenity should be sufficient to work. (shrugs)

that's funny.  the op says he checked "kdialog."  but usually that works on kde plasma.  at least one of the linux os.  that i installed with kde plasma.  worked with "kdialog" without having to install zenity.  but had to install zenity anyway.  thanks to the sloppy programmers of another program i have to use.
