In didn’t plan to distro hop on the chrome book, but having something actively maintained that’s a nice’d up Debian would be sweet.

What have you done to me?!?!?

Are these distros good at supporting various old chrome book hardware? Hell maybe even something like Mint would work, but I should probably stick with the lightweight ones.

Mabox has an option at setup for Chromebook keyboards but i find binding from a regular keyboard less of a pain. My one real issue was the sound card, but SOF ( sound open firmware) fixed it immediately.

Mint is basically perfect, i just wish their xfce edition was based on Debian And not ubuntu. Mint + debian = the tops. Another one to consider is Sparky Linux. I heard good stuff about it.

Thanks again!

The chrome book is in a state where I can boot from the USB drive and try out whatever I want, so I’m going to take a look!
