blog-dshr-org-7422		DSHR's Blog: Travels with a Chromebook			.html	text/html	3845	539	88	Two years ago I wrote A Note Of Thanks as I switched my disposable travel laptop from an Asus Seashell to an Acer C720 Chromebook running Linux. So I downloaded Linux Mint 18.1 "Serena" Cinnamon (64-bit), wrote the .iso to a USB drive, popped it into the first C720 and powered up. It turns out that the Mint kernel shows symptoms that appeared on Chromebook Linux wikis back in 2014: M. Porup has a review of two ways to run Linux on a Chromebook, Crouton and the one I use, GalliumOS. It appears that up-to-date Mint 19 (MATE) plus the GalliumOS userland fixes has two problems on the C720: Mint 18.3 with the GalliumOS 4.8.17 kernel works fine. After some experimentation, I now have Mint 19.2 running on a C720 with the vanilla 4.15.0-54-generic kernel not the GalliumOS one. But they still work fine and get software updates because they run Linux!	./cache/blog-dshr-org-7422.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-7422.txt
