Title: aarch64 chromebook compatibility
Post by: Comptr-User on May 17, 2025, 09:45:37 PM

I was looking into installing a linux distro on my chromebook, and I thought that TinyCore would be a good choice considering my chromebook's low processing power and 4gb of ram. It has a MediaTek MT 8183 CPU, which is an aarch64 cpu.
I understand that it is difficult at best and impossible at worst to get a custom os on an ARM chromebook, but I want to know if this port (or any port/version tbh) of TinyCore even has support for the hardware in the first place.
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie or frequently asked question.

This is a raspberry pi bootLoader/firmware and kernel.  But other binary extensions should run on other arm chips.
