Your Chromebook, Your Way
This project seems to be just gone now? All links in this post, and the repo, and the github account are 404s

Anyone know what happened? It’s been one day

Dual boot Chrome OS / Linux on a supported Chromebook. chrx deprecated. How to dual boot?
Check into the Eupnea project. Using depthboot, you could run Linux off of a USB stick and still boot into ChromeOS without having to mess with the firmware. But for a true dual boot implementation, that is what you are going to have to do. Check out r/chrultrabook (after it reopens; it is still private).

Goodbye, Chromebooks
https://eupnea-linux.github.io/ gets the job done today. Turned my cheap LTE chromebook into a nice travel laptop running arch linux.
- I have an old laptop Asus computer installed with ChromeOsFlex. The wifi for this device was ok, but when it upgraded automatically to newer OS the wifi is missing. Wifi searching cannot find any signals. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Now I reinstalled it and turn off OS upgrade.

Looking for an extremely cheap laptop to install Linux and write on
Btw I'd avoid Chromebooks for Linux due to firmware/driver compatibility issues. Some can have the firmware reflashed to install Linux, and some can have Linux installed without reflashing via a newer utility called DepthBoot, but in general you're more likely to have issues with Linux on a Chromebook than on a former Windows laptop.

What can I do with an old Dell Chromebook 11 from 2016?
I install Ubuntu on Chromebook Pixel (2015) with Depthboot and use it as a server.

Are there any active forks of Gallium?
You can use https://eupnea-linux.github.io/ Instead.
- Meet Eupnea and Depthboot, the successors to Galliumos and Breath. This is the bleeding edge.

CXI3 (sion) with Windows 11, 3.5 MM headphone jack is not working. Please help.
Lacking of audio support under Windows and Linux after installation is common. Even some driver support tool in windows can't help (just tried with one of my Chromebooks) The better choice is installing Eupnea Project Linux distro (https://eupnea-linux.github.io/) to gain partial audio support or even full support (based on your device model YMMV) The 2nd solution is to buy a 3.5 mm jack to USB-C dungle to convert your headphone jack to USB-C so that they can be recognized by your Chromebook under any OS. You can find it on Amazon. Good luck

Your Chromebook, Your Way
It disappeared without any visible explanations. Apparently, it was a a friendly fork of the Breath project (https://github.com/cb-linux/breath) by Apacelus (https://github.com/Apacelus/Apacelus). But Apacelus stopped working on it on May 26th (https://github.com/Apacelus/Apacelus/commit/c84ee94310144ec9...).
There's another project on Github with the same name: eupnea-linux-backup https://github.com/eupnea-linux-backup

Replaceable drive?
As of now, audio on LARS works on GalliumOS Skylake out of the box and after some tricks on Ubuntu 18.04-based distributions and Ubuntu 20.04-based distributions. Furthermore, it may work on Breath Linux (discontinued).

A steer on GalliumOS distro selection please
Breath Linux might be you best bet - https://github.com/cb-linux/breath

I dual booted my chrome OS with Ubuntu. But now I want to replace chrome OS with it. How do I do this?
Your best bet is probably the breath distro. It's not exactly Ubuntu, but it's probably as close as you're going to get.

How do I remove dummy output. I installed ubuntu on my hp chromebook 14 g5.
I maybe wrong about this but few research on google suggest that sound isnt fully supported on that model, if its true then you may just be limited to Crostini, Crouton, Brioche or Breath https://github.com/cb-linux/breath but I suggest looking for someone here at reddit who had the same laptop and ask them if they have sound when running linux

What problems may I run into if I install Linux on my Chromebook?
Finally, there are packages like breath for more modern chromebooks that allow you to boot into native linux without flashing BIOS, but I haven't really tried using them.

So I got Postal 2 to run
But the actual difference can be achieved only with a dev mode rabbit hole. For example, you could try the Breath project that allows you to boot into Ubuntu from an sd card or a flash drive without messing with the system files. Since Ubuntu by default doesn't reserve so much RAM to itself, the games won't be begging for more ram and you'll see much better results. Everything said above is tested on a Celeron N4000-based 4GB Chromebook.

Breath Lets You Run Ubuntu on Modern Intel Chromebooks
Did you see the site? There seems to be audio problems. https://github.com/cb-linux/breath/issues
What are some alternatives?
When comparing depthboot-builder and breath you can also consider the following projects:
anaconda - System installer for Fedora, RHEL and other distributions
crouton - Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment
