[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Running Fedora 20 with Sugar on a Chromebook?

[Sebastian Silva]

I have the C720. It's a beauty and really fast.

It runs sugar-build on top of Manjaro GNU/Linux (Arch based) quite 
nicely.

The only issue I guess is at boot time the chromebook will warn you 
that "OS verification has been disabled, press something to enable it".

If you don't choose to re enable OS verification, it then makes you 
wait 30 secs, unless you know to press Ctrl-L.

Legend says it's possible to flash a new coreboot bios on it but I 
can't affort the risk to brick it.

In retrospect, I might have chosen to get the C720P that doubles the 
storage and memory and comes with a touchscreen.

Regards,
Sebastian
