You own an ACER Chromebook R11 running Intel Broadwell with 4GB RAM, 64-bit architecture and 32GB storage. You're curious about alternatives to Linux, Android, and Windows. There have been reports of success using Windows, though driver problems with standard input/output persist due to ChromeOS's device management. Regarding Android, it could theoretically run Android x86, and there are possibilities for RemixOS as well. However, flashing both 64-bit and 32-bit versions to USB prevents booting, and USB boot is currently enabled. You're currently using Crouton with Unix, but have experimented with Chrome OS and Chrx, finding the latter less ideal. You're seeking more stability and greater functionality, especially since Android integration doesn't fully unlock its capabilities.

Dude, you're using a Chrome book for those "computers"? That doesn't sound right. The best and most reliable method is to follow these steps: 1. Clean the 32GB drive 2. Set up Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) 3. Buy a 128GB SD card if needed 4. Use it now—your usable computer will be ready. If you're concerned about compatibility, Linux Mint works great on Chrome books too, and it's much more efficient than ChromeOS.

Gallium (Ubuntu) performs excellently on CBs.
