Thank you for doing this - it makes Chromebooks seem much more appealing as a hardware platform.
Do I understand correctly that this removes the need to hold down a special key combination every time you boot?
- honua 11y agoI have Ubuntu on my Acer C720 and it boots straight into it without any key combination - the Arch Wiki is where I found how to do that
- marktangotango 11y agoI also have an acer c720; I totally de-chromed mine, and installed xubuntu 14.04, sounds like you may have done the same? I've been very happy with it, however the other day I was contemplating upgrading to 16.06 when it comes out, but the thought of going thru all the steps again (to reinstall the os) and the prospect of getting something wrong is a strong deterrent imo. Although most steps are documented, it's still a distraction from what I want to be doing, ie developing software.
- honua 11y agoYeah I agree that getting it all to work nicely can be a big distraction, though unfortunately I've had similar experience with Linux on most hardware
- nayu 11y ago:) No, you still have to hold Ctrl-D every time you boot.
- malkia 11y agoI had that for a while, with my croutonized C710 and gave it to my son to play minecraft on it, but one day he pressed space :)
