From GalliumOS Wiki
To run GalliumOS, your ChromeOS device needs firmware support for Legacy/BIOS or UEFI booting.
The table below includes OS and firmware support information for all models of Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and Chromebases. If a firmware update is required (or recommended) for your model, you can find full details at Firmware.
If you find any errors or omissions, please let us know!

Notes
- Pineview models do not ship with compatible firmware. Custom firmware is available for MARIO (Google Cr-48). See Support/Pineview.
- ARM models do not ship with compatible firmware, and custom firmware is not available at this time. See Support/ARM.
- Sandy/Ivy Bridge models are supported. See Support/SandyIvy.
- Haswell models are well-supported. See Support/Haswell.
- Broadwell models are well-supported. See Support/Broadwell.
- Bay Trail models are well-supported. See Support/BayTrail.
- Braswell models are well-supported. See Support/Braswell.
- Skylake models are mostly supported. See Support/Skylake and Skylake Platform Validation.
- Apollo Lake models are new, and support is uncertain. See Support/ApolloLake and Apollo Lake Platform Validation.
- Kaby Lake models are new, and support is uncertain. See Support/KabyLake and Kaby Lake Platform Validation.
- Amber Lake models are new, and support is uncertain. See Support/AmberLake and Amber Lake Platform Validation.

- Whiskey Lake models are new, and support is uncertain. See Support/WhiskeyLake and Whiskey Lake Platform Validation.
- AMD models are new, and support is uncertain. See Support/AMD and AMD Platform Validation.
- Hardware ID: Each Chromebook/box/base model is identified by a hardware ID. Some manufacturers reuse model names for different hardware IDs (e.g. Samsung), and others market several versions of the same hardware ID (e.g. HP). For purposes of support questions, hardware ID is the most important identifier for your model. You can check your Hardware ID from the Developer Mode boot screen ("OS verification is OFF"), from the Terminal (
dmidecode -s system-product-name
) or from inside ChromeOS by navigating tochrome://system
, where it's calledhardware_class
. - Dual-Booting with ChromeOS is possible where the factory firmware supports legacy booting (SeaBIOS), or the custom firmware installs legacy boot capability without removing ChromeOS boot functionality. Currently, dual-boot setups are installed via chrx.
- Firmware options are available for all models, and required for some. See Firmware.
- Text Mode: The factory firmware of this model fails to display text-mode output, so messages printed to screen during the early boot process will be invisible. This can be functional, but very difficult to debug if problems arise. Updated FULL ROM firmware fixes it. See Firmware. (↑)
- HiDPI:
This model has a 2560x1700 display. GalliumOS (Xfce, Gtk2, xfwm4) will work at this geometry, but GUI elements will be very small (possibly unusably small), since they are not scaled appropriately. You can install the
galliumos-hidpi
package for better settings. (↑) - SAMUS (Google Pixel, 2015) See Installing/Samus for some notes on audio and HiDPI config. (↑)
- PANTHER/ZAKO (ASUS Chromebox, 2014 / HP Chromebox, 2014) have a broken factory legacy boot payload that fails to initialize the USB3 ports; custom firmware is the only resolution. See also Installing/Panther. (↑)
- CELES (Samsung Chromebook 3) This model has been very problematic for many users, so we do not recommend it. However, it has also been perfectly successful for others, and we haven't found the difference that separates the two groups. If you own a CELES already, and want to try GalliumOS, give it a shot! If you are looking to purchase a Chromebook with the intention of running GalliumOS, we strongly suggest choosing a different model.
- TBD (to be determined) Please get in touch if you can help us fill in any of these details. Thanks!
