This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google removedery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.
Check out https://docs.chrultrabook.com/, you might be able to find what you’re looking for
Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(
Just write a driver for it
Lol, I wish I could but that level of programming is beyond my abilities.
git gud
Edit: c’mon, y’all, it’s a git joke.
Use a distro with the latest kernel, like ubuntu, to have higher chances for this to be supported.
For this price you can get a high-specs Thinkpad
Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.
Yes
Technically it already runs linux
I am almost certain that the OP was asking about standard GNU/Linux ecosystem borrowed from the desktop, not just some OS that happened to be build on top of modification of Linux kernel.
I know
Yes you’ll be fine.
Don’t buy chromebook, but if you’re convinced it’s the right choice you’ll be fine.
