Chromebook efi

From Devi Garcia · Jan 02, 2018

For anyone who was considering a Chromebook as a Linux replacement I figured it why my Arch wouldn't load on the custom efi bios 


Type 'exit' to return to the UEFI settings menu, then select Boot Maintenance Manager. From there, select Boot From File, then navigate to and boot from /EFI/[distro name]/grubx64.efi (where [distro name] will be ubuntu, arch, debian, etc). Once your OS is booted, open a terminal/shell, and type the following (observing case):

sudo su
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
cp /boot/efi/EFI/[distro name from above]/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi

If using GalliumOS it works on efi no problems but other distros probably have this problem the Asus c300 Chromebook I had now on efi with GalliumOS and runs indie games off steam with no issues for my wife
