Chromebooks will get 10 years of automatic updates
I literally did some web dev work on my Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 (released 2012) last week. It's running linux[1] at this point (since it's EOL), and is a little slow, but it's still perfectly functional for running vscode and a local webserver. (As others have pointed out, browsing the reset of the bloated web is a pain, though)

Asus c302ca firmware failed to load - no sound
[On Github](https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/379) it is suggested to use [script](https://github.com/eupnea-linux/audio-scripts) which downloads the native Chrome OS and extract from there missing binaries. Why those are not opon sourced?

Linux Install Hanging, Never Completes, No Error Message, Connection Strong and Stable
I apologise in advance; I have no idea what is causing this issue with your Chromebook. I had hoped I could be of assistance, but I am unable to. I hope that whatever issue you were having with your Chromebook has been resolved. If you want to install Linux on your Chromebook, try GalliumOS

Thorium on existing Cloudready? Does it auto-update?
Also, as far as ChromiumOS, I make my own builds that are "dev" channel, have kernel 5.10, linux firmware, codecs, and extra packages (see readme) https://github.com/Alex313031/ChromiumOS/

Stupid question outdated flint os
I'm not quite sure. I've only seen one video on YouTube about this project. I wouldn't trust it since it's not well known and I haven't seen people dig into the code yet. The latest release of Wayne OS was in September and that means that it doesn't have the most up-to-date features. I would recommend something like Alex313031's ChromiumOS. This guy is well known around the Cloudready Support Forums and has been creating his builds of Chromium OS for a while now. While I would recommend ChromeOS Flex, it's not completely stable yet.

Cloudready (v1) is slowly being decommissioned
It's okay. We still have open source projects that work like Cloudready since they were built with older builds. This guy has been developing his own version of ChromiumOS with Cloudready builds or something. He has said he will continue development on these builds since Cloudready is being discontinued. link to him talking about it on the Cloudready support forums
- I make my own Chromium fork for linux. Sharing for people who don't wanna use the snap chromium or 18.04 repos. Has enhancements and performance compiler optimizations.
- Who else uses the default Ubuntu GNOME layout? I think it’s oddly cozy and comfortable once I got used to it.

Simple Web kiosk display project -- works on 3B+ but not on Zero 2 W?
u/MHTMakerspace I would also be willing to make a custom build of chromium for you that may slightly increase memory performance. I also make my own custom browser based on chromium called Thorium as well as ChromiumOS builds with firmare and codecs in case you might be interested. > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium and releases for windows > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win and chromiumos here > https://github.com/Alex313031/ChromiumOS
