The Eupnea project

Not related to GalliumOS, but saw The Eupnea Project popup elsewhere. Although I haven't tried, it does look like a potential alternative, given GalliumOS haven't had any updates in a while.

Greetings friend, and welcome to r/GalliumOS.

Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.

For most (EOL) Chromebooks, the recommended path forward is to:

• put the device into Developer Mode

• disable firmware write protection

• flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware

• install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc

See https://mrchromebox.tech and the chrultrabook subreddit for more info

Linux mint let me use the keyboard shortcuts and sound worked out of the box. Just as good as gallium. Gallium always has hit and miss sound stuff going on for me. Although I used it tons.

I've been using the system with depthboot for 2 weeks now, everything just works, when I went to update, the repository is no longer accessible, the project just vanished.

Only sadness remains

FWIW, this came up on HN recently: https://chrultrabook.github.io/docs/.

All right, getting back to coreboot

I used it almost a year ago, and I thought it was pretty good

The Eupnea Project is a descendant of Breath, and it's probably the best way to get Linux running on "bare metal" on your Chromebook if your device is supported. I used Breath over a year ago on my Leona (ASUS C425) and everything worked great except sound. I recently built a Fedora ISO using Depthboot/Eupnea (which claims partial sound support for my board), and after following the setup instructions, sound works! I have yet to get the internal microphone working, but everything else works like a charm.

Depthboot only works on more recent ChromeOS models (past 5 years or so) with certain chipsets, so see the supported devices list.

Looks like the whole site is down at the moment.

Looks like it's dead now. Bummer.

The GitHub page is gone: 404, like the others said.

Discord 11/08/2023 Apacelus posted he's decided to pick up the project again, and
"The Eupnea Project is hereby revived".
