    I mean, Fyde was originally meant for Chromebooks, and has support for Intel devices back to 2010 I think.

    It sounds like you’re talking about drivers?

    Otherwise, if you do want essentially an updated Gallium, there’s this guide which is on running Xubuntu (again, what Gallium used as it’s base) on old Chromebook:

    https://www.quantulum.co.uk/blog/xubuntu-on-a-chromebook/

    It shows how to tweak things as needed.

    I could maybe find more specific details if I knew what specific Chromebook you had.

    Mr.Chromebox also makes it so you can run other distros by installing the firmware needed for your Chromebook so you shouldn’t have issues with any buttons etc. Which should be a replacement for the custom kernel tweaks Gallium did manually. I don’t know how far back they go though, since you mentioned it’s a 2gb ram machine.
