@mcc hope some of them are using x86 so they can be repurposed, maybe as a smol Linux laptop for occasional use. ARM tho? Nah

@ellenor2000 @mcc I have an ARM Chromebook, it can run arch linux arm, but the trackpad doesn't work and there's no graphics acceleration
Also it only runs off USB or SD card. Unsure if it's possible to replace chrome os entirely
I do agree with u tho, just x86 Chromebooks are easier. Most you just have to unscrew a protection screw and install coreboot and then you can install what u want, pretty simple

@daviddd @ellenor2000 @mcc To add N+1, I've got an ARM Chromebook that works fine in Linux. Bit slow, but it was worse before the switch.

The architecture isn't as relevant as the specific model.
