Thanks God it's weekend, what Linux project do you have in mind?

A long overdue project: converting a Chromebox to a Linux-only system

I have had a Chromebox with an i5 8th Gen Intel processor gathering dust for quite some time.

I upgraded the RAM from 8 to 16 GB and replaced the 64 GB M.2 ssd (not nvme) with a 256 GB ssd.

Flashed the firmware with a modified upstream coreboot (shout out to MrChromebox) and there you have it.

A UEFI capable system already running CachyOS (screenshots here) and Fedora in dualboot. If anything is buttery smooth, this must be it!
