I'm curious if anyone has tried alternative OSes on an EOL Chromebook?

Ive read using brunch can keep them receiving updates (without losing Android/Linux containers)

I tried out bliss is from a live usb last night and it was okay. Honestly the 3 launcher options just send to compete with each other.

Anyone tried any others out? If so, which ones, what was your experience like?

Not sure it’s maintained, but https://galliumos.org/ used to be a good choice.

I've always heard good things about it, but it appears to no longer be maintained. It may still be the best option for my older, low spec 'book.

After seeing they have a generic x86 iso for postmarketOS, I may try it too. Ive been wanting to try out the gnome mobile shell option in pmbootstrap
