Pretty chuffed that I got this old (2016) #ChromeBook a second lease on life thanks to the instructions by @vkc and the #chultrabook project!
I did have a go early this year but I was only allowed to install #linux next to #ChromeOS and that was rather unsatisfying. It turns out it's possible to replace the firmware altogether and get a proper machine out of it!
Here's something the fedi will enjoy... I got #linux running on my old chromebook!
This is my first plunge into running/tinkering with Linux, and I was a bit scared (especially flashing custom firmware to run Coreboot) but the process proved easier than expected. Thanks to the #chrultrabook project, Mr Chromebox for the custom firmware, and @vkc for your instructional video; all helped ease my nerves.
