Good morning I think I'm going to try to put chrome OS or like some version of that on my hp stream 7 this weekend

Which is to say... I want a touch optimized OS to put on this tablet that's super lightweight and basically just a browser.... but I don't want google

@masklayer you could put like lubuntu on it and then just set up firefox as to start full screen in i3wm... dunno how good the linux touch screen support is but I'm sure we could tweak it

@Fuego Yeah since this thing only has one port and is really slow I'm worried about getting keyboard input working while it installs... Idk. I'm going to try to use the SD card slot but idk if that works while it's booting up because it requires drivers? I'm not good at computer

@Fuego I know people have put Ubuntu on this though so it is possible, somehow

@masklayer the sdcard will be accessible by the bootloader, yeah
