cadmium VS crouton

No, not planned. Also, there is Cadmium already

Also check out Cadmium, I stole som code for that and managed to boot Slackware 14.2 on my mine.

Figure out what chipset (more specific than "Arm") it has, and then see what you can do with https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder or https://github.com/Maccraft123/Cadmium

I have built a few kernels a long while ago and fiddled with building Cadmium Linux and managed to create an arch port. Granted this was on the back of other work https://github.com/Maccraft123/Cadmium/pull/53 .

ARM USERS LOOK HERE: Cadmium (specialized Linux distro for ARM Chromebooks only) https://github.com/Maccraft123/Cadmium

It's a little more than that, they then added subpixel and momentum scrolling support to Chrome that bypasses X11 and does something custom [1]. Integration problems like this one that require a bunch of coordination are harder to do in open source land.

I'm guessing GP means natively, not in a VM. I've been super grateful for the VM-based method, but I still prefer the native experience like that provided by Crouton[1]. With Crouton being "maintenance-only" now I share GP's hope that a similar thing will be possible and easy.

One way to install Crouton

Go to the github of crouton they have instructions there https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

At any rate, you can try Breath, Crouton, Manjaro... those are three of the distros people have found success with. It all boils down to the specific hardware involved... which we know nothing about since you kept that to yourself.

Post in r/crouton and refer to https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton if you haven't already. However, I think it's fair to say that Crouton is now broken to the point of being effectively dead.
