Not sure why this page says Ubuntu won't work. MrChromebox's firmware just turned it into a regular UEFI computer. I've had Ubuntu Mate 22.04 working on a Chromebook just fine.
- jacquesm 3y agoWhich Chromebook?
- hypothesis 3y agoNot OP, but you can check list of supported devices at https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices. You would want to flash a Full ROM (UEFI) which will then easily support any regular Linux distro.
- politelemon 3y agoYeah that confused me. I see this warning > Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distributions, such as Mint or ElementaryOS are unsupported. Do you think it's related to the kernel version? > Only Linux kernel 6.1 LTS or newer is supported. What kernel version do you get?
- jeroenhd 3y agoUbuntu 23.04 ships with Linux 6.2. Mint and Ubuntu LTS ship with a 5.x kernel at the moment, so that may be the problem. Normal Ubuntu is updated enough to work, but many people will probably prefer the LTS release lest they need to update every 9 months.
- MrChromebox 3y agoIt doesn't say Ubuntu doesn't work, it says that the chrultrabook project doesn't support it - so if audio (eg) doesn't work, you're own your own.
