    Another happy jrnl.sh user here. It’s so useful for quickly capturing things that are on your mind, especially because the history editing features are well done.

      I’ve been using a Samsung ARM Chromebook (1st generation) as my daily driver for the past 4 years. It’s a lowend, underpowered machine with nothing to write home about, but it can support a full Arch Linux ARM installation, run a web browser just fine, and have an adequate number of terminals. I love it. The battery life hasn’t changed at all since I bought it, it’s still consistently getting >7 hours. I have other friends with ARM laptops from other manufacturers, the battery life story is one I hear consistently.

          dz, I wrote up a blog post about this: http://blog.jamesluck.com/installing-real-linux-on-arm-chromebook I completely replaced ChromeOS with Archlinux ARM on the internal SSD. The gist of the process is that you make a live USB, boot to that, and then follow the same procedure for making the bootable USB onto the SSD. You just have to untar the root filesystem, edit /etc/fstab, and correct the networking config!

            If it’s anything like my Samsung ARM Chromebook, you can boot a different os off external storage (i.e. an SD card), or possibly replace Chrome OS on the internal solid-state storage.

              You can replace ChromeOS. Here’s the Arch wiki on the 1st gen Samsung ARM Chromebook and the Samsung Chromebook Plus.
