Acer Chromebook 317 Linux conversion
#1
Some time ago I converted two Acer Chromebook 317's to Linux Mint, then to MX-23.3. They work well but tended to overheat.
 I have now discovered "BookwormPup64 10.0.5". It is Debian 12 built on Puppy Linux. Is seriously fast, stable, runs at an average of 30c, supports JasperLake audio. It is 1.8GB installed. No problem installing it, except that I had to set up the SSD manually because it put Grub in the wrong place. Another small problem was that the keyboard lighting was off. I booted it on a Mint Cinnamon USB, turned the lighting on.

Nice!

Yes, annoyingly, laptop power management can be a bit hit-and-miss with Linux, and with something like a Chromebook that isn't even designed to run a standard distro anyway...
