IMPORTANT: Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.

For most (EOL) Chromebooks, the recommended path forward is to:

  • put the device into Developer Mode
  • disable firmware write protection
  • flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
  • install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc

See https://mrchromebox.tech and the chrultrabook subreddit for more info

GalliumOS is a fast and lightweight Linux distro made for Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. GalliumOS delivers a complete Linux environment with full hardware support, a carefully tuned kernel, and a full-featured and attractive desktop.
