Try Manjaro Xfce or Manjaro Cinnamon, or Lubuntu, or Xubuntu, or Ubuntu MATE, or Ubuntu itself. Or Arch.

not all distros have a version that works on ARM machines. I know Fedora has a version made for ARM.

WinXP tbqh

>>59518236 Chomebooks cant run generic arm distros like debian/ubuntu/arch.

I have that chromie, if you haven't already purchased it don't. Installing arch was a fucking nightmare for me. Don't buy an ARM device. But, if you did, just build an arch install. Keep in mind alsa and pulse dont fucking work or im a retard

Debian 8 Jessie armhf port.

I've only used XFCE on chromebook. Follow install instructions on wiki.

Alternative question: Why bother buying ARM hardware?

asking for a friend who's stuck with one because of poor decisions but wants out of chromeOS. i'm going to try to install debian armhf for him as >>59519903 recommended.
