Add support for Zorin OS #54

Open thomasstevenson opened 6 years ago

Zorin is based on Ubuntu 16.04, so it should be very technically similar to Ubuntu which is supported by Chrx. I've also noticed that Zorin's repositories (see below) have ARM builds for all their packages.

I would be very open to a PR that added Zorin. As you say, it probably wouldn't be too difficult.

As for ARM models, unfortunately there is no firmware capable of booting a traditional/legacy OS, so I don't think dual-booting will be possible.

You can boot archlinuxarm on an arm chromebook? Theoretically possible now?
