Someone gave me a Hisense C11 Chromebook and I’m wondering if there’s absolutely anything I can do with it. It seems like a piece of junk and the Linux stuff I’ve seen for Chromebooks specify that they don’t work with the ARM processor. Is there any distro that would work on it? Any other ideas about how to repurpose it?

Note: I don’t have direct access to an Ethernet cable/router for setup. Also don’t have the most technical knowhow.

    Off the top of my head, GalliumOS or nix

      GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.

      Cadmium, on the other hand.
