From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello, anyone here has coreboot or any distribution like libreboot? I think of buying something compatible. I mainly make music in reaper with few plugins, browse internet, sometimes do graphic design and sometimes play left 4 dead 2 and games like that. I use artix linux. If you have done this could you share your experience? What to look for?

Did you need to flash with a programmer or was it installable from within the OS?

I don't know specifically about samsung chromebook, but many devices require an external hardware programmer.
