A fan of you and your fashion sense!

The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.

I was hoping for a story.

As others have mentioned, perhaps while the metaphor is weak, your spirit is strong!

My kid's Chromebooks (I purchased for them before the school provided) reached EOL before they finished elementary school.

I installed Linux (Gentoo) so we could continue using them. When power is correctly configured, they were very cool to use as a quick tool to search for something, answer an email, write a quick document and other simple tasks. They did not work well as workstations as an old Thinkpad might.

Since they are so light, and the battery lasted forever, we would leave them on a counter, and pick them up as needed.

Mine is a front end for hosted services. Nextcloud, jitsi, and the like.

reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.

Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren't "engaging" are in the cross hairs.

I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.

I used this when my son's computer wouldn't boot after a Windows update. None of Microsoft's tools would repair the disk.

I attached it to mine and ran ntfsfix on it. Success!

Can you grab logcat from Android when attempting to stream?
