Anyone had luck running lesser-known operating systems (i.e #HaikuOS or #9front ) on Chromebooks?
I brought home a HP Chromebook 14 G5 (codename SNAPPY) from ewaste, and I'd like to see what's possible before it ends up being another Linux or Windows 10 system.
specs are:
- Celeron N3350
- 4GB of RAM
- don't care about the eMMC storage, since I'm okay with using a flush-fit USB drive
I've already installed the MrChromebox UEFI, and I'm especially curious about shoehorning CSMwrap and a MS-DOS/FreeDOS boot floppy into the firmware.
