Same here. And because it's already designed for compatibility with the Linux kernel (because ChromeOS is Linux), it works so much better than most machines I've installed Linux on after Windows.
- stonogo 4y agoHow often do you (and your parent poster) find yourself stuck with 'vendor kernels' on these machines a la arm devices? I've tried twice to rehabilitate Chromebooks; in the first instance I was stymied by lack of mainline support for the chipset involved, and in the second case there was no mainline support for the soldered-in broadcom wifi. Is this common, or is there a trick to avoiding buying encumbered hardware?
- toast0 4y ago1) Be sure to buy things on the mrchromebox support list 2) Don't buy a chromeos device with an arm processor 3) Don't buy a chromeos device with an atom processor 4) Maybe don't buy one with an AMD processor, but I'm not sure?
