Freezing issue when trying to run Linux on chromebook with crouton

I'm a beginner here, just trying to get started with Linux with the limited resources that I have. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're using your Chromebook's trackpad, tap to click won't work until it's turned on in the Linux settings (usually a gear icon). Until then you need to press down on the trackpad to make a click. Hope this is what's going on.
