Comment on How to install Linux

Basically you go into the settings and find Linux development environment and turn it on. Setup always fails for me. But yeah I have a few usb keys lying around. I'll charge this chromebook and give it another go later. Do you have any suggestions for a really lightweight distro? I just want to stop using it with chrome since updates ended a year ago.

That's installing Crostini, the vm/container (Debian). Which actually works really really well, especially on on higher-end CBs. But I'd be really surprised if it runs at all, let alone well, on a CB that old.
Better would maybe be replacing ChromeOS but I've never tried to tackle that myself.
