When I first installed CachyOS on this Chromebook, the brightness didn't work very well, and the built in sound didn't work at all. Now, with subsequent Linux updates, I find that the brightness works as normal, and today my sound suddenly works; I've never heard these internal speakers before. Comfy.

Recently, I've been thinking quite a bit about Linux (and possibly NetBSD) on Chromebook and Chromebox hardware.
I've used a Chromebook with Linux as my daily driver laptop for quite a while a couple years ago. Switched back to a ThinkPad for a bit more CPU power and memory.
I see a lot of value in these Chromebooks that have been liberated with CoreBoot. I posted about it quite a bit a few years ago. May have to get back into it.
Things look like they have changed a bit. Before, a lot of the newer Chromebooks could not be liberated. Now, it looks like pretty much every Chrome device with an Intel processor can be. That's a big improvement.
