I introduced Linux Penguin to my chrome OS

Part of the process is to restart my Google pixel book. My chromebook will not start back up. What can I do to power up?

I will do my best to help. Let us check if the battery is charging correctly by unplugging your Pixelbook from a power outlet, waiting 60 seconds, then plugging back in. (Usually, you'll see a light turn on.) If your Pixelbook is charging, let it charge for at least 30 minutes.

Do this > While pressing and holding the Refresh key button, tap the Power button.
