Sorry, Jerry. I've been really busy lately which is why I got quiet for a bit on the forums. I'll put something together soon. I'm thinking it may be more of a comprehensive reference post than a tutorial now because I would just be reinventing the wheel. There are several excellent tutorials out there for Ubuntu based distros but I'll gather the best resources and provide some additional info based on my own experience with different methods.

Agreed! I purposely got the c720p because I saw that is had SeaBIOS and wanted it for the cheap hardware. Linux Lite works beautifully on it with the 3.18 kernel.

Welcome to the Linux Lite community, Mike! I used to use a Chromebook myself, but I have since sold it on eBay. An Acer C710 Chromebook, the previous model to the one you own. That particular Chromebook is also VERY easy to install alternative OS' on, something that was near impossible to do on other Chromebook models at that time (early 2013), due to the BIOS being locked.

I'd just like to add my voice to the requests to see this - very tempted to get a Chromebook if putting LL on it was simple.

And Happy New Year everyone!

How did you install LL on a Chromebook? Would you mind posting a separate tutorial? What works and doesn't work eg. touchscreen. I think people would find this extremely useful. Thank you.

I can certainly do that. It has gotten MUCH easier to configure since the release of the 3.17 kernel. Previously I had to compile additional modules to get the touchpad and touchscreen working. After installing 3.17+ (I'm currently using your 3.18) almost everything works without much configuration. There are a couple of other tweaks that I do as well to fine tune it which I can mention in the tut.

  • I was a little surprised to see that there are no cursor themes installed by default. While I don't mind the no-frills X cursor that LL uses, I imagine new users may like a few options. Was the minimal inclusion of cursors and GTK themes intentional to keep the ISO small? Just curious.
  • Everything appears to work OOTB for me on an Acer C720P (chromebook). The only thing that I found a little odd was that my cursor changed to a VERY slanted cursor during the installation process. Obviously it's not a deal breaker but I noticed it.

Welcome mlsmith, both those issues are fixed with a new default mouse theme in 2.2
