On how to switch versions of ubuntu is very vague, where do I put the version i want to boot and the -r, a base command would be good

@Acidic-x,

You can't really switch versions, you may be able to upgrade a version, see:

Upgrading in place doesn't always turn out well tho.

You can install a new chroot with the release of your choice and it's probably the best way to get the release/verson that you want. The releases that you can install using crouton are listed below, some are supported, some are not -

chronos@localhost ~ $ crouton -r list
Recognized debian releases:
    potato! woody! sarge! etch! lenny! squeeze! wheezy! jessie stretch buster
    bullseye sid
Recognized kali releases:
    moto! kali! sana! kali-rolling
Recognized ubuntu releases:
    warty! hoary! breezy! dapper! edgy! feisty! gutsy! hardy! intrepid! jaunty!
    karmic! lucid! maverick! natty! oneiric! precise! quantal! raring! saucy!
    trusty! utopic! vivid! wily! xenial yakkety! zesty! artful! bionic* cosmic!
    disco! eoan* focal*
Releases marked with ! are upstream end-of-life, and should be avoided.
Releases marked with * are unsupported, but may work with some effort.

As you alluded to, you can use the '-r' option to install the release of your choice. One example of that using the 'bionic' release is shown below:

Hope this helps, -DennisLfromGA
