Hi y'all, I just got booted into gnome on the Asus Chromebit CS10 that's been sitting around doing nothing since I got it basically. I recently had a need for a dev server to host client projects privately, so I dusted it off. Many hours were spent with attempting Arch usb boot, which failed on a looping Network Configuration step during initial boot. I then thought I'd found the answer with chroot from inside chromeos. But the chroot "jail" was too restrictive to properly run a server. Found your project and after a few false starts, it's working!!

Thank you for everything you've put into this project. I love the ascii art during installation. There aren't words to express the gratitude I feel to have success after so much time and energy expended. Y'all kick ass. Not to mention reviving old tech (which is my favorite), and saving some eWaste!

A small quality of life improvement I can suggest to further justify opening this issue is I had to install ntpupdate and enable location services and get date time set. Maybe that's just a gnome thing, but that'd be nice to have taken care of during installation. πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—

Long live the prawn 🦐
