Linux on a Chromebook, my favorite way
Yes, there are many ways to install Linux on a Chromebook. In my humble opinion, this is the best way. Maybe you'll like it!
In today's thrilling episode of Veronica Explains, I'll introduce you to the Chrultrabook project, and the process of installing a more vanilla Coreboot on Chromebooks, overwriting the stock firmware, and to paraphrase the Coreboot docs, take the training wheels off of your Chromebook.
Then we'll install lots of Linuxes and a few other things!
Veronica Explains wouldn't be possible without your support. Monthly sustainers get extra perks like a weekly newsletter and a positive community. More perks being added regularly, so come check it out!
