  • Is Eupnea/Depthboot back?
    1 project | /r/Eupnea | 8 Nov 2023
    I noticed that a new Web page for the Eupnea/Depthboot was available, and these GitHub repos appear to be available and active. The backup repo is now 404. Does this mean that the project is active once again? That would be great news for folks wanting to run Linux on their ChromeOS devices.

    Not exactly. There are some ways to install GNU/Linux distros on Chromebooks, the Eupnea project's Depthboot script[1], for example, lets users build/run a distro by extracting the rootfs from an ISO file, and apply Chromebook-specific patches, like using ChromeOS' kernel, using keyd to make patches to support the Chromebook keyboard's action keys, and much others.

    (Disclaimer: I'm the current maintainer of the Eupnea project.)
