ChromeOS Brunch?

Boardname
rabbid running bobba recovery installed with linuxloops.

Was wondering if it were possible to install this in some way to a ChromeOS Brunch system.

Not possible for several reasons

1. ChromeOS is immutable (you cannnot modify the rootfs)
2. Brunch gets around this by patching and overlaying the rootfs each time it changes, so you would need to integrate this into the brunch system (stuff like firmware should already be there because brunch does add that)
3. The kernel would need to have all of the required modules (brunch should have this already)
4. The UCM the script installs is designed to work with pipewire, not cras (last time i checked, brunch already has cras-compatible UCM)

If you want audio to work in brunch, go ask the brunch devs to make it happen.

There's also the question of why you would run brunch of a device that still receives ChromeOS updates.

I installed brunch partly as an experiment and to continue getting OS updates and continued Play Store support not just security updates. If this wouldn’t work then I’ll either go back to windows or another distribution, sorry to waste your time.

IMO the best way to get more life out of your chromebook is to flash UEFI firmware and install windows or linux. Running ChromeOS for another board on an old chromebook (or any normal pc really) is more of a hack and a daily driver thing (like hackintoshes).
