Attached is my chromebook's kernel config (via /proc/config.gz) - no aufs or overlay_fs - squashfs via container. Uses preemption. Always about 12 kernels behind current. Maybe interesting?
I am interested in what your ideas are as you have managed to get this information.
I do have a HP Chromebook and was considering using a different OS.
From my initial searches I saw that Arch Linux had a functioning and supported OS https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrome ... Chromebook.
This lead me on to see that there is an existing Puppy that uses Arch Linux for these devices. I cannot recall the name, however I do believe it is a Russian build and has the Puppy logo.
I seem to have misplaced the link (grey cells deteriorating 
) and should started a thread to enquire if it was available in English too.
Mine has a Mediatek cpu, 4GB DDR4 and a 32GB eMMC onboard.

Thanks for letting me know ......... lol it will give me something to mess around over the hols
Just a minor issue, the link refers back to the old forum
Code: Select all
https://forum.puppylinux.com/www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=117732
How do I change it so I can view the links? I read somewhere it should say "old-forum".
Also, I did find this thread ( ......... should have used the "Search" option before posting my thread 
)
**EDIT**
This is a pain ...... my browser/ISP does not allow me to navigate/view this domain.
From memory, I know that I wanted to try some of @plinej applications and they are on the same server
@Jasper
Just scroll down to around the 3rd post for links to peebee's releases in that topic.
@Jasper - As my chromebook is only about a year old, I'm still using it as that. Most chromebooks after 2018 have Linux Crostini option, which is a Debian Bullseye compatible run in a container. I actually find that pretty good & have updates till 2030, so I have no real interest in conversion. Mr Chromebox's site has a lot of info for chromebook conversion to Linux, but I think it mostly relates to intel cpus.
The one I have HP 11a, which is about 2(?) years old.
I did a bit of reading last night and realised you can run Linux virtually via the Developer Options. Mine is supported to 2028 (?).
I did find the MrChromebox site via @bigpup Chromebook thread:

I get the feeling that @peebee builds are for x86_64 models. The one I am using is a lowly ARM Mediatek cpu.
Thanks for letting me know where to grab the ISO's 
Chromebooks (Run and install Puppy)

@ozsouth
Would this have any use with the Chromebook special kernels you made configured for Chromebook sound?
I have the links to them in this topic post:

@bigpup - I think that was for older models. We were chasing specific sound cards there also.
Read this online and was pleasantly surprised as it supports my ARM cpu.
