Grab the xkb-data from galliumOS and install it with dpkg -i. By default the chromebook keyboard top row will function as F keys, the built in Ubuntu chromebook keyboard wont change that. You will also need to change firefox to the nightly ppa and pin the non- snap version. It is too heavy for this aging Chromebook. If you decide to do that as well here are the things to do to make it workable: Remove snap, completely. So I threw on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Xubuntu).

Gallium is great! Everything works.except it is based on ubuntu Bionic which is Long Term Support until 2023 so we are coming up on the EOL date for that too, AND the repo is mising quite a few things I use.

I already have a Samsung Chromebook 3 with ChromeOS, but I am too lazy to back everything up to switch to linux since the Samsung Chromebook 3 is EOL and getting more out of date by the month.Īnyway, something like this at $60 is an ok deal to someone like me who got it, immediately took it apart and removed the write protect screw, put it back together, flashed full uefi firmware, then installed galliumOS. All hardware works and there are no significant blemishes. The product came quickly, was clean, well packaged and as described.
