Some help with installing Arch Linux and finding a working kernel for.....
So after U-Boot 2018.10 is installed, I downloaded the imagebuilder img to see if it would boot. Tried this one : https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/download/230218-04/chromebook_nyan-armv7l-bookworm.img.gz. I first tried to use a Micro Center SD card which booted into a black eDP screen via the nyan-big dtb. The nyan-big-fhd and blaze dtbs all showed the boot sequence stuck, either on SD card failing to initialize or voltage being disabled.

Alternative OS for Duet 3 after AUE? Buy or No?
The Duet 3 is the same chipset (the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2) as the Duet 3, so I'd expect similar results, using https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/blob/main/systems/chromebook_trogdor/readme.md
- Xiaomi Book S - would be great if it did work.

So Libreboot black screen after flashing on ARM Chromebook ~U-Boot~
Since it is U-Boot, it probably needs a U-Boot kernel to boot right? But I wanted to test it out, so I went to imagebuilder and downloaded https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/tag/230218-04 for the nyan-big and flashed to a SanDisk SD Card. All right, this image is probably depth charge based. But I get a black screen. Blue power LED comes on and I get black screen. I inserted SD Card and rebooted, still black screen. I remember my Chromebook crashed like half a hour later due to lack of RAM, half a hour after flashing Libreboot successfully, but have not rebooted.

Some help with installing Arch Linux and finding a working kernel for.....
I found reey's old kernel builds : https://github.com/reey/PKGBUILDs/releases/tag/v4.20.2. Since they are meant to run on Arch Linux for the CB5-311, maybe they will work. But they are too old and therefore I didn't test them.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing imagebuilder and PKGBUILDs you can also consider the following projects:
linux-armv7-xe303c12-only - Linux kernel for old google-snow chromebook
desktopify - Convert Ubuntu Server for Raspberry Pi into a Desktop
linux-mainline-and-mali-generic-stable-kernel - my kind of generic armv7l 32bit linux mainline stable kernel build - used on bananapi m1, asus tinkerboard, tx1 allwinner h3 tv box, r39 allwinner h3 tv box, orbsmart s92 tv box (same as beelink r89, tronsmart orion r28, very similar to ubox tv box), raspberry pi 3b and 3b plus in 32bit mode
galliumos-distro - Docs, issues, and artwork sources for GalliumOS
kernel-extra-patches - some interesting patch series not yet in the mainline kernel to experiment with
