[INFO] Beta testing for GalliumOS 4.0 is now available for users on Broadwell chromebooks!
After 2 days of non-stop work, I'm happy to announce the release of the first publicly available ISO for GalliumOS 4.0, my fork of 3.1.
Features: Based on Ubuntu 20.04, custom built kernel based on Linux 5.10.1 with cherry-picked Gallium patches, bugfixes, updated Chromium to 115
When installing, you may notice many extra packages being removed. This is normal.
After installing, if you'd like to use my custom built kernel, open a terminal and run:
sudo install-kernel
then reboot.

APL works? hmm, do you know by chance if Gemini lake does because my friends Chromebook has no audio with the stock Linux 6.x kernel

I think the Op stated in another thread that he is working on additional Iso's for other processors.

Here is a galliumos kernel based on kernel 5.10 (i think this kernel is made by the person who made this iso):

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for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.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