[Hardware] Installing Bkworm in Chromebook?
[Hardware] Installing Bkworm in Chromebook?
Does anyone have any experience in dual booting Linux with ChromeOS in chromebooks? I am not talking about crouton chrooting but about bare metal bkworm installation including of course first booting from usb.

Chromebooks have Debian Bullseye built in. Maybe just use that until they upgrade. I use it a lot.

Thanks! It's been a while since I tried any Chrome vm/container but I will give it a try again as things may have improved a bit. I am more interested in completely gutting the ChromeOS, or dual grub-booting with it. Basically I am thinking about using Chromebook hardware since it is "absolutely" (?) designed based on the Linux kernel. A typical Chromebook can last more than 10 hours. Can never do that in Windows-based Linux laptops.

I never install a desktop but that can be done. Graphical programs (Thunar, Geany etc) work for me. It is based on Wayland so some Xorg apps don't run, but there are some env flags you can set that usually fixes that. Graphical apps seem to get bundled into a group under the start menu.pwzhangzz wrote: ↑2023-07-21 22:32 Thanks!

And yes, I agree, my Chromebook is my most used device!
Re: [Hardware] Installing Bkworm in Chromebook?
Since the chromebook I am currently running is a test machine, I have upgraded its Debian container from the "old-stable" (Bullseye) to "stable" (Bookworm). So far it seems to be working okay.

Cool, did you just change your sources.list and do a dist-upgrade via apt?
All my PC's are pretty much disposable as everything important is in Google drive so I may give it a try.
