Hello, giving a bit of an update since it's been awhile. I've conceded defeat. This Chromebook is resilient to my efforts to turn it around as a Linux laptop. Sad to come to this reality but it is what it is and I really should've known better when it comes to Chromebooks. On the flip side...

Okay, currently at this rate, nothing is doing it. Boot Developer Mode Tried to Boot USB Reboot Nothing Didn't matter if I was guest or whatever. Didn't matter if I got into Dev Mode through boot or into Guest through browser. Same results. Went back, thinking it's the flash stick, got rid of...

All right so it appears it was the right choice because now when I run the crossystem command to boot from USB, it didn't just sit there and wait for me to sudo reboot it. It gave me a long list of other commands, of which I had not seen before until now. I still proceeded to reboot as is, tried...

All right, I ran into more walls. So onto what Brickwizard was showing me. Yes our motherboards are indeed different. So this made me go to another forum where a nice fellow was kind enough to show everyone where exactly that screw was on the motherboard to my chromebook model. When I opened...

No I haven't and I will now. Before I take on what Brickwizard laid out to me, I'm looking into this first. Because this is laying out some commands to me that I've not tried before at certain stages that I didn't know beforehand as to what to do. This is the kind of information that was lacking...

I'd like to, sure. Thanks.

I can't say I'm angry. I didn't pay no more than $10 for this so I can't say it was a ripoff (much). I wanted a lightly dependable laptop to do an otherwise simple job that required next to no resources to use. I also got this challenge of a project on top of it, because I know that one day...

They're great suggestions and I'm trying to revisit my old friend Bunsenlabs. I'm stuck at the Developer Console right now, I'm not sure what to do. Here's what keeps happening. With the flash stick in, I get stuck at the OS Verification turned Off screen, I CTRL + D and I'm at the Developer...

That's fine, because I looking to put a lightweight distro. I don't want anything like Ubuntu on there, since I know a Chromebook's limits and now this one. This laptop is only going to be primarily used as a white-noise machine (playing videos or whatever when I sleep) or a general...

Hello there, probably not the first time you've seen a topic like this. But I've ran into quite a wall currently with a chromebook that I'm trying to install Linux onto, because I'm not fond of the idea of an always-online laptop. The HP Chromebook model I'm working with is a G4-11, currently...
