GalliumOS is easy to install, on something that's not a Chromebook perhaps. In order to install it, I had to: > Put the chromebook into 'developer mode', wiping the hard drive > Physically open the device, breaking the 'warranty void' sticker, in order to remove a write-protect screw > Change firmware flags to allow booting off of unsigned partitions > Replace the firmware entirely, risking bricking the device Apart from that it was easy, and the installation program was faultless. I do use my Chromebook as a dev machine, and I agree with you that the poor performance is more of a help than a hindrance. Code editors don't stress out any remotely modern computer, and if your code runs well on the Chromebook then it should be fine anywhere else; very few machines have worse specs. I think they're fine machines, and GalliumOS is everything one would wish, but I really couldn't count ease of installation amongst their features.
