About GalliumOS
GalliumOS is a fast and lightweight Linux distribution specifically for Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. GalliumOS delivers a complete Linux environment with full hardware support and an attractive full-featured desktop.
GalliumOS features a touchpad driver customized for Chromebooks, kernel schedulers optimized for the CPUs and SSDs found in ChromeOS devices, and fixes dozens of device-specific bugs. All while requiring less memory and disk space compared to standard Linux desktop environments.
See https://wiki.galliumos.org/About_GalliumOS for more.
Installing GalliumOS
GalliumOS installation images can be downloaded from https://galliumos.org/download. You can preview GalliumOS in a "live boot" from the same image without installing. GalliumOS can be installed in place of ChromeOS, or in a dual-boot configuration alongside ChromeOS. See the GalliumOS wiki for full instructions: https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing.
Upgrading from GalliumOS Beta Releases
