Anddd the #nixos shall set you free, little #chromebook.

Massive thanks to this community for helping me unbrick it when the update went bad the first time. And #mrchromebox for all the incredible work you do to help set these things free!

@codemonkeymike I've been running a couple ASUS C202sa chromebooks with firmware from #mrchromebox and #endeavoros (one KDE and one i3) and they are my go-to devices. Not fast but usable, biggest issue is that they only have 4GB ram. I'll look into the Lenovo Flex 5, thanks!

This weekend's tech activity was to put #antiX Linux on the former parents redundant EOL'd Chromebook. Success! And a very nice Debian based distro without the systemd overhead. #icewm boots to 140mb.

Now if I can figure out how to get the latest #MrChromebox firmware and replace an this aged #Seamonkey based firmware, I'd be set.

Got a open source coreboot on a cheep chromebook. Finaly can run a GNU/Linux thanks to #MrChromebox

If you have a Chromebook that no longer receives updates, there's a solution for you! With the ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script: https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript, you can turn your Chromebook into a regular laptop and install ChromeOS Flex on it. I did this with my HP Chromebook 14 and it worked like a charm! #chromebook #chromeos #flex #mrchromebox
