  • PrawnOS

    Libre Mainline Kernel and Debian for arm laptops

  • chromebooks fork linux almost as badly as androids. instead of mainline + some patches/modules you get a custom kernel made for the hardware in question, usually with lots of proprietary drivers that make it hard for users to update. this is worse for ARM chromebooks than x86 chromebooks, but often has the same result on both: instead of downloading your favorite distro's ISO and installing it, you need to find something like PrawnOS that supports your specific model. in many cases you can't dualboot either because google's gimped UEFI/uboot/whatever implementation only boots chromeOS, and once you replace it with a custom firmware chromeOS becomes unbootable
