Can someone this explain this more?
I was hoping to blow the dust off my original Samsung Chromebook.

- pgeorgi 11y agoAll Chromebooks since 2013 use the same code base, no matter the architecture (coreboot + depthcharge). People have problems on non-x86 because there's no default replacement for depthcharge that can be made to work with ~0 effort.
- dheera 11y agoI was hoping to have this on my Asus Chromebook Flip. A lot of the ARM machines are wonderfully thin and light with very impressive battery life. It would be great if they could get full-fledged OSes as well. Crouton works perfectly, but it would be nice if I could give a Linux distro the full 16GB of eMMC instead of X gigabytes of disk image within the 16GB. Bonus points if I could dual-boot Android and GalliumOS on an ARM laptop. That would be killer.
