Originally posted by **gabriele-3** July 3, 2022 Hi there. This is gabriel-3 aka gabriel_3 aka gabriel3, 9+ years Linux user, former mod and member of openSUSE project. While not being myself a Gecko Linux user I was recommending it to people new to Linux and to openSUSE because of its good quality. In the recent past (2 years) have been running Linux on a Chromebook not any longer supported by Google, GalliumOS first, openSUSE later on (Leap 15.3 / Tumbleweed, Leap 15.4 tested only). For a long time I was an openSUSE enthusiastic user, but Leap last release looks heavy for this job and Tumbleweed kills the poor machine when updating upon a full rebuild. In addition to that it's a bit hard to be approached by Linux newcomers. Today I'm running and recommending PeppermintOS, since the last release Debian based as Spiral is, aimed to be minimal. My question is: could be Spiral a good Chromebook operating system? The requirements are: * Minimalism because of the reduced internal storage * Lightness because of the low specs hardware * Easiness of install/use because many people looking for Linux on unsupported Chromebooks are new to Linux. As an example, while I love `snapper` and its rollback feature, I'm quite worried about the storage needed for the snapshots, on the other (bright) hand I run PeppermintOS on a compressed btrfs file system (`compress-force=zstd`), similar to the Spiral set up.
