Acer Chromebook CB3-431 Linux system setup
Hi everyone, I just got a new Acer Chromebook CB3-431 running Linux and am upgrading from my C720. I’m looking for advice—anyone has experience with this model? I’m having trouble finding information like I did for the C720. Do you need to install custom firmware? Thanks for your help!
Always investigate the product and its features prior to purchasing.

Good luck!
I haven't tried converting a chromebook to Linux before. The included MMC flash storage has been a concern for me. I'm leaning toward Intel processors because of the battery performance. Would you mind if I ask about using a chromebook instead of a pricier Windows laptop? Also, have you ever had issues with the MMC memory before? And can you replace or upgrade it? What about adding more RAM?
