My latest project is the re-purposing of another Chromebook, from 2014. It works within the limitations of 16 GB storage, 4 GB ram and Intel Celeron N2840. 64-bit, yes, so it is useful for everyday work and play. I can attend the meeting tonight and show how well Debian 12 is working. I am compiling my steps in the conversion, but that will take a bit of editing and review on my part. Mostly I was guided by Mrchromebox.tech and Ifixit. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Install+CloudReady+(or+other+OS)+on+Toshiba+Chromebook+2+(CB35-C3300)/127415 My motherboard was a tad different and so finding and removing the write-protect screw took two attempts. I am charging with a special adapter attached with alligator clips, with an appropriate power supply on order. I am repeating the pattern I established years ago of extending the use and life of hardware with free and open source software. Debian is well suited for this. Thank you, Ted P. --000000000000d02f24061807a610 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-size:large">NMG= LUGers, We are scheduled for an in person meeting at Violet Crown tonight. = My latest project is the re-purposing of another Chromebook, from 2014.
