Comment on Question: Is it possible to put Linux on an x86 Chromebook?
kittenroar@beehaw.org 1 week agoChromebooks have a special bios, it works with a chip on the motherboard to detect if chromeos is running or if some unverified is is running. If chromeos isn’t running, it displays a warning message on boot. This behavior cannot be disabled.

Sometimes, being an editor sucks. I try to hold back, but when you end up with a different word than intended – and it’s funny – I feel I have no choice but to point it out.
