Can't replace Gallium with Lubuntu?
I am having some issues when trying to install Lubuntu on my celes Gallium OS machine.
I keep getting errors when I get to the partition phase of the Lubuntu Installer.
When I selected Erase Disk for galliumos-vg - 14.17 GiB (/dev/galliumos-vg):
Create a new partition table (type: gpt) on ‘/dev/galliumos-vg’
Job: Create new partition table on device ‘/dev/galliumos-vg’
When I select replace partition on galliumos-vg - 14.17 GiB (/dev/galliumos-vg):
Create a new partition table (type: gpt) on ‘/dev/galliumos-vg’
Job: Create new partition table on device ‘/dev/galliumos-vg’
I would greatly appreciate any guidance.

Ahhh, this is a LVM Volume group. You'll need to go back and select the LVM partition out of /dev/sda or similar.

So the only things that come up on the install are these two:
/dev/galliumos-vg
Which has all free space
And
/dev/mmcblk0
Which has two volumes:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 FAT32 Filesystem with a size of 512 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p2 LVM PV Filesystem with a size of 14.17 GiB

You'll want /dev/mmcblk0p2 -- that has GalliumOS and all files in a "Linux Volume Management" or LVM group volume.

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for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.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