I bought an old HP chromebook cheap on ebay that came with Zorin OS installed. It isn’t much, but just about manages to do what I need. The trouble is, Zorin seems kind of bloated and the Chromebook hasn’t got much memory. I don’t even have enough space to install updates.
I’m comfortable with running a pared-down OS that might be a better fit for a tired old Chromebook. What might work better than Zorin?


GalliumOS is a Linux distro made especially for Chromebooks.
Gallium has not been active in 5 years though.
I should have checked. That was the last time I had a Chromebook.
