Yooooo, this is exciting. I've always written off #arm #chomebook as un-saveable since they can't be jailbroken with MrChomebox.
I just got like 50 of these Asus C100P arm chromebooks that are "expired". Digging around, it looks like #postmarketOS will run on this!
Still stuff to figure out but DAMN this is promising. Being able to save even ARM chromebooks is epic. Dammit I love #linux and #openSource
I recently received a number of these Asus Chromebook 100P laptops as a donation. They're cute little laptops, but are on an expired version of ChromeOS, and since they're #arm I can't use my usual tricks with MrChromebox.
Well @cinimodev@masto.ctms.me apparently is way smarter than me, and figured out how to get #postmarketOS running on this in no time.
He even wrote it up. Check it out. It's brilliant. Yay, #linux

More proof that #linux #nixbook is completely usable by normal, non technical folks.
I recently donated 10 Nixbooks to a local community college that had a group of under privileged students that really needed computers.
These were non technical folks with no training whatsoever. Some didn't even speak fluent English. And yet the feedback has been amazing from it.
Thank you to all the #openSource heros that make this possible. And to #nixos for making one hell of a base
I have a #linux question for the class.
I have this jailbroken Intel Chromebook running #debian 13. The screen is broken and I wanted to try and run with no screen, just HDMI (like a pi 500)
When the eDP is installed the HDMI works and screens mirror. And I can even unplug the eDP and it continues to run.
However, it won't even post or get to a pingable status when trying to start it up with no edp LCD installed.
Any ideas why?
