No, mine's just as snappy with linux as it was with chromeOS Generally, if you have an older device, this is not a problem (I run Arch on a C740 and everything worked out of the box).
(2) Check the GalliumOS device compatibility page to make sure that all devices are supported. (1) Check mrchromebox's website and make sure that their custom version of coreboot is compatible with your device (when I replaced chromeOS with Arch they had a super helpful table). It is possible to install ARM linux, but honestly I think you're better off with chromeOS if you have an ARM device. Anyway, you should do three things first: (0) Make sure your device is x86. (People who daily drive Crostini should corroborate).ĮDIT: I somehow missed "I'm considering replacing ChromeOS with Linux" (urggh I'm dumb). If I'm not mistaken, you can enable linux on chromebooks now without enabling developer mode. If you're running something processor heavy, i.e you download steam and game through your chromebook (not a good idea, btw), I'd assume that your battery life would be significantly lower than just simple browsing/productivity, but no just enabling linux should not have an impact on battery life. Depending on your internal SSD capacity, you may run into issues with running out of storage space, but other than you should be fine. No, as far as I'm aware, your chromebook should not run slower after enabling linux. I'm going to answer this assuming it's the former (i.e enabling Linux based apps inside chromeOS). Okay, so by 'installing Linux', do you mean enabling Linux based apps within chromeos, or wiping ChromeOS and replacing it with linux? Both are viable options, though with the latter, you want to do more research, since only certain devices are completely compatible (i.e, drivers for audio/wifi work etc.) I suggest giving it a go, if you don't like it then you can always delete it and reclaim the space for ChromeOS. I have had my Linux container go wrong a couple of times, it doesn't affect the ChromeOS side of things and deleting the container and starting over fixes things but it is worth backing up the whole Linux container to an external storage device so that you can reinstall a known good working copy. You won't lose files unless you need to delete some to create space for Linux. The Linux container takes up space on your drive. Linux applications aren't going to be as optimised and you will most likely be using them to perform more complex and demanding tasks. If I shutdown the Linux container then battery life is unaffected. My battery runtime is reduced when I run the Linux container but that will be due to the applications running. No loss of ChromeOS features that I can see. If you mean enabling the Linux container along side the ChromeOS then my experience has been:.
