I actually picked up a Pixelbook Go off ebay this week because I wanted a really nice quality laptop for Linux. Getting things figured out was kind of hellish (I'm working on a guide) but I was looking into Depthboot yesterday as a way to see if I could get audio working (the custom kernel seemed like it had better chances).
Ended up not working, as Depthboot requires you to build your own images and there's a problem where the builder gets stuck on the DE step (and also the github seems to imply the project might be getting sunset?)
In my experience, follow MrChromebox's firmware utility guide to set up UEFI firmware, use a recent kernel as they have good support for most chrome os devices, and for audio the absolute amazing https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio solved like 3 days of headache for me with one script.
I'd highly recommend it. Picked up an i5/16GB/128GB config for ~$200 and it's hardware on par with my M1 Macbook Air, and the first x86 laptop I've owned with battery life to match, especially with Arch. Amazing value and I think my favorite linux device ever.

It seems that the custom distro (similar to Asahi Linux for Macs with Apple Silicon) is the one being sunsetted, not this one > EupneaOS (Discontinued) > Some of you may have noticed EupneaOS has been removed from most pages, this is due to the development of EupneaOS being stopped. The sole focus will be on maintaining and improving Depthboot, for more information please checkout our Discord.
