Yeah, I noticed. I miss not having a declarative system, but agree on Nix. I don’t have the time to learn all that. I think it seemed neat to use yaml, since it is pretty straight forward

That sounds like BlendOS. I haven’t tried either of them, but sounds really cool!

Not a bad idea! Not sure how well it is supported though

It’s very interesting! I just find it weird that I’ve never heard of it. I will have it in the back of my head in case I need to do a full 360 and go back to ChromeOS

Good to know! Have you tried any other distros?

I thought so too, but then my Chrome stopped updating and all my extensions started breaking one by one. Never heard of ChromeOS Flex, will check out!

Thanks! I have figured all that out. I went with Tumbleweed for now, because I had it lying around on a USB stick and wanted to see if it worked. Looks like it works pretty much out of box. I found a ZRAM guide too. Might distro jump over to Fedora though

No problem! Yeah, I think they mostly are, which is great

Also did a search to see if RAM or storage is possible to upgrade, it is not. Everything is soldered right to the board.

I can however add some storage with SD card (planning on doing just that)

Thanks for all the great replies! I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with XFCE for now, because I had it lying around on a USB stick. Mostly to see if I even could get it running. So far so good, but I will definitely use some time to check out my options and see what will work the best. All replies are greatly appreciated!

Wow, thanks for this write-up! I will definitely look into ZRAM! I have been wanting to give Fedora Atomic a go

Will look into if upgrading is possible, but I doubt it

Will look into it if it is even possible. I don’t think this computer was made with modifications in mind

Gallium is not maintained anymore though :(
