I will never get over how complicated it is to install linux on devices that aren't meant for mainstream linux but prefer their own 'in-house' distro.

I spent like 8 hours setting up a chrultrabook with ubuntu on it yesterday. I wanted to use ubuntu lomiri but ig 24.04 (the newest lomiri release) doesn't support CrAS(ChromeOS Audio System, a requirement on the Atlas (pixelbook go) due to a highly nonstandard audio deployment). TBF nothing should support CrAS it shouldn't even exist.

Could I have done it faster? Yeah sure but I wanted to use a spin and installing lomiri manually doesn't yield the same visual results as using the ubuntu spin. I ended up using the default ubuntu UI. Also I'm sorry to the Ubuntu community for talking shit about the UI, it was way ahead of it's time and in 2026 is actually perfect. In 2012 it didn't make sense yet though.
