This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.
Check out https://docs.chrultrabook.com/, you might be able to find what you’re looking for
Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(
Just write a driver for it
Lol, I wish I could but that level of programming is beyond my abilities.
git gud
Edit: c’mon, y’all, it’s a git joke.
Use a distro with the latest kernel, like ubuntu, to have higher chances for this to be supported.
For this price you can get a high-specs Thinkpad
Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.
Yes you’ll be fine.
Don’t buy chromebook, but if you’re convinced it’s the right choice you’ll be fine.
Technically it already runs linux
I am almost certain that the OP was asking about standard GNU/Linux ecosystem borrowed from the desktop, not just some OS that happened to be build on top of modification of Linux kernel.
I know
Yes
