Thanks! Is it hard to flash it? Which one do you use?

(CTRL-ALT-T to get a terminal in chrome, then type "shell") copy-paste the rom download script from johnlewis.ie, backup your firmware from the menu, then flash the firmware and boot your favorite LiveUSB of choice. I use KaOS[0] as my preferred LiveCD while I install arch (with OpenRC) or Gentoo.

I have a C720P. There are two versions. should you have the older version (cyapa touchpad module), any modern kernel will work. If you have a Elan touchpad (i.e. touchpad doesn't work on boot), you'll have to patch a kernel driver. I could create a full overlay for my gentoo modifications, but I doubt anyone would want to use it. :)
