Took one more step away from Google. I'm posting this from a Chromebook running Arch Linux. (acer CB3-532) With XFCE4, it's surprisingly light on it's feet. With two browser tabs and a couple of other programs running, it's using 1.6 GB of the available 4 GB of ram. The only real drawbacks are the tiny internal storage (16 GB) and the non-standard keyboard. The hardest thing to configure was sound. A little searching lead me to the right packages to install. For my purposes, it's working well. #ArchLinux #Chromebook #byebyegoogle
BTW, Fatdog64 worked pretty well. MX Linux and LMDE didn't detect the keyboard. I was about to try Linux Mint, but when I rebooted Arch to download the install ISO, the sound was working. Since sound was the only issue with Arch, I let it stay.
