My late evening started by powerwashing (both outside and resetting) an old #Acer C720P #Chromebook, and installing #chrx with #GalliumOS. That went smoothly for the most part.

Installing #Lem was a PITA. First I had to inform the installation script wth galliumos was, then I had to debug the 20 or so #qlot stack traces. For the love of #lisp.

I’m too tired now to play with it 🄱😓

@timpizey Update: just installed Linux on an old Chromebook. Phase 2: hosting my own NextCloud.
#Chrx is great! #Chromebook #GalliumOS #Ubuntu

Local bulk store are dumping Lenovo 500e 2nd gen Chromebooks. Got one to use as android emulator (instead of a smartphone for a few crucial apps' sake) and the pen (EMR stylus) for teaching, noodling, notes. Mrchromebox' incredible firmware work doesn't cover its CPU (yet) so Linux is constrained to crouton/crostini (chroot) (OK-ish I guess, at least for this bargain price). Then this popped up on last reddit round before bedtime.
