Is it possible to dualboot Linux & ChromeOS on an HP Chromebook 11 G4 (KiP) with linux being stored on an SD, and is it anything of concern that RW_LEGACY is EOL?
Also what linux distro is reccomended between Arch, Debian, Fedora or anything else?
RW_LEGACY is not supported on EOL devices, so you’re on your own here.
booting Linux off a SD card on a Baytrail Chromebook is going to be painfully slow.
Ah okay, so its not worth it i suppose?
I would recommend flashing the UEFI Full ROM firmware and then installing Linux
ah ok, according to Chrultrabok docs it alr has UEFI rom, however my storage capacity is low & i want to preserve the orig ChromeOS, if said I were to use an SD card, how bad would it be?
also what do I do about the EOL RW_LEGACY, also what is the issue with it?
if your device already has the UEFI Full ROM firmware on it, then you can’t run stock ChromeOS, but you can run ChromeOS Flex or FydeOS from external media (USB/NVMe). However neither will have functional built-in audio AFAIK.
you don’t do anything about RW_LEGACY. It doesn’t exist for EOL devices, which yours is.
Ah I see, so if i wanted to dualboot i would need to reinstall chromeOS again?
you can’t/shouldn’t run stock ChromeOS on an EOL device. It’s years out of date at this point.
Ah okay
