From hating to developing: Our journey with Chromebooks ( #minnebar18 session)

What a weekend in the Twin Cities - Friday #halicon24 Healthcare Data Science and #minnebar18 today. I love our Minnesota community. If we had a Medical Alley event as well - then I would probably not make it.

Hosting a #minnebar18 session on April 20th, about my rather interesting (in my opinion) journey through the world of Chromebooks

Might have an up and coming tech enthusiast help with live demos:)

From hating to developing: My journey with Chromebooks

I used to avoid Chromebooks, I thought I had no use for them. That is, until a couple years ago, when I managed to put windows on a Chromebook.. From then on, I have: - Helped organizations get more use out of their Chromebooks with Windows and Linux - Through a start-up I work for, [Fyra Labs](https://fyralabs.com), and with the partnership of the [Chrultrabook Project](https://docs.chrultrabook.com/), we have created a tool to make it easier than ever to boot Linux onto a stock firmware Chromebook, and are implementing it into Chromebook images for our distro - Worked with PostmarketOS to port to mt8192/google-hayato - Connected with other Linux distributions in regard to bringing Chromebook support to as many distros as possible - Become the first person to boot an OSTree-based Linux image onto a stock Chromebook, [seen here](https://youtu.be/31apRjM8tAE?si=PwcnYyqVRXfsNGiL) **In this session, I will include:** - My journey with Chromebooks over the years, from how I got started to the topics above - Live demonstration of our tool used to boot Linux on Chromebooks - Demos of custom ROM (corebooted) Windows and Linux Chromebooks, and custom ARM and OSTree-based installs - 'Interesting' (to say the least) ways to use modded ChromeOS devices (Pi-Hole, drawing tablet..) - How you can get involved - Different ways to view non-standard hardware While this may seem like a more technical session, I aim to make a simple, easy to understand session for people of all technical knowledge. To help with this, my little brother will be assisting me with live demos.
