Karl Pearson (ID: 0000006da3dc616f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/25/2018 Options don't work. Grayed out, so I have no idea how it works. I can only guess.... Is that because I don't use MAC, M$, or Chromebook? I guess I could leave it installed until I turn my Chromebook (Cloudready) on in the next few days, but on my Linux Mint work laptop, nope, no go...
