Video: Installing Arch Linux ARM on the HP Chromebook 11

Just to follow up from my earlier post about Installing Arch Linux on the HP Chromebook 11, I’ve put together a video of the process to show how simple it really is.

- Making suspend on lid-close work with Arch Linux on the HP Chromebook 11
The more time that I spend using Arch Linux on my HP Chromebook 11, the more things I find to tweak and tinker with (like getting a proper editor working with Zed). The latest thing I’ve addressed is making suspend work when the lid is closed. After speaking to my resident Arch guru about it, he pointed me to a blog post that he wrote on the subject, before actually showing me how to make it work.
- Using the Zed editor with Arch Linux ARM on your Chromebook
I’ve been using Arch Linux on my HP Chromebook 11 for a little while now. One of the problems I’ve had with the setup has been that Sublime Text is not available for the ARM architecture.
- Running a Tailscale exit node in a local VM
I run Tailscale on my laptops, phone and NAS, and wanted to add an exit node so I could route traffic through my own connection when I’m out and about. The obvious place to put it was the NAS, since it’s already always on, but the NAS also holds everything I’d least like exposed if something went wrong. Making it double up as an exit node, with every device’s outbound traffic flowing through it, didn’t sit right. What I wanted instead was a disposable, isolated VM living on the same machine doing that job, leaving the NAS untouched.

HeyYour tutorial seems very clear , and it’s one of the few about HP Chromebook 11, so thanks for sharing :)Before trying it, can i ask you which version of the Linux kernel is it booting ?

In fact, i’ve just tested it, and seen it is Linux kernel 3.4. What would it take to make it able to boot at least kernel 3.9 ?
You would probably need to cross compile your own 3.9 kernel. My method simply uses the kernel package distributed by http://archlinuxarm.org/
