Dude. I have been working on my chromebook flip c302c... its so sexy...

 

have you tried a bootable usb?

 

I don't want to loose the chrome os. I'm trying to get this thing to boot from a 32 gig sd card. (This is a challenge)

 

Gnome3 is a sexy tablet style window manager.

 

My end goal is to run daily mint19 gnome3. a web development machine with potential gaming... I have two sd cards for separate os configurations.

 

Currently I have been creating custom iso files in virtual box. I'm trying to make mint19 lighter, install tools I need for remote development. Curlftpfs, sublime-text...

 

I'm tweaking the os for 'toram' deployment... boot up the usb then the os uploads completely to ram. At this point you can unplug the usb and the os is super responsive.  I have a system running gnome3 idle right now consuming 600mb of the 4 gig ram...

 

There will be plenty of tweaks needed to make this a stable configuration...

With cruton have you got any of tge linux to run?

 

I tested a few. But I don't like the lack of performance...
