Instead of reinventing the wheel. I am going to post a couple of Links here for Installing AntiX on Chromebooks.

If you wish to see where I jump into the thread. Start at page 8.
Some good info here

More info from other sites for arm cpu chromebooks. If you have a intel or amd cpu. You can install any Linux version you wish. The below is just for arm chromebooks.

Shotgun LinkIf you read the 1st link. You will see I installed AntiX instead of MX. I used the antix2usb installer inside the AntiX control center on my AntiX 15 laptop to make my live usb.
So far. AntiX supports my model of chromebook fine and dandy. It gave new life to a door stop since Google dropped support for parrot on this model of chromebook in this previous Autumn. My install is on the internal hard drive. This is not a run from usb install.Don’t try this blindly. Chromebooks are easy to brick. I will try and answer any questions. But it would probably be better to ask questions in the 2nd link I provided at the MX forums. This thread is more for just supplying info.

By the way. They are pretty cheap used . Link
Edit: 1/2 a hour after I posted this. I picked up a used working acer c710 off ebay with out the power adapter for 40 bucks. Power adapters are 10 bucks.
I’ll probably install MX on that one.- This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by rokytnji.
