Arch linux
Should be fine, make sure it’s relatively new and check its read/write speed if that matters to you. Make a backup of your information though if this is a long term solution for you, they can corrupt after a few years.
If you’re talking installation media there should be no problem doing that.
Depends for which chromebook and how you’re going to use it. My Asus CM1400 won’t see the sd slot during boot, but will happily boot from a uSD USB reader.
HP Chromebook 11 G4, but also could you explain the process of how to install dualboot linux like im 5//simplify?
ah ok, but is the EOL RW_LEGACY anything to be concerned of?
oh yeah which is much easier/prefferable when having linux? fedora, debian or arch?
nope, you just have to make sure to enable external USB booting and you should be all good. If you haven’t, you should be able to google instructions on how.
Edit: EOL is not supported, didn’t see in initial response. would recommend checking compatibility with Mr.Chromebox coreboot firmware and running the firmware script on their website.
Also, dual booting is super simple. If it’s two Linux OS’s you want to load, you can partition your drive (making two separate storage spaces), and load one onto each. All you need is a partitioning tool, which is included in some linux install media like Mint (Which I prefer since it’s light and stable). Since most versions of Linux use GRUB2 (Grand Unified Boot Loader) to chose, load, and run your linux OS, it should automatically detect when you have two operating systems and bring you to a menu where you can chose one.
As long as the internal storage works it doesn’t matter rather you can boot from SD since you can mount /boot on a separate internal storage partition (just make sure grub installs to the correct mbr.
ah okay
Ah thanks about the dualbooting support, however i want to use an SD card so that no usb will be poking out of my lpatop & since my internal storage capacity is very low.
also what exactly do i do with the Chromebox fw utility?
