I don't have a Chromebook. Therefore I don't consider myself well versed in the subject. I can't test it out. But I have written laptop pages for Debian before though so have some experience with that end. Since no one else answered I wanted to give feedback. I read through the wiki page you created and I am impressed. I found it covered all of the information I could think of covering. It provided good references to the issues. Thank you for making all of that great information available. Good job! It both motivated me that I should get an ARM laptop and terrified me due to the battery loss dev-mode issue. I would like to ask about that issue. Have you experienced a flat battery yourself and had to go through the recovery process? The posting by Bill Richardson said that the Chromebook 1) was not bricked but needed ChromeOS recovery and 2) that dev-mode was stored in "battery-backed CMOS". But battery-backed CMOS should survive a main battery used to zero. Those are all new enough that a CMOS battery shouldn't be dead year. Therefore a main battery used to zero shouldn't seem to brick the unit. Is that not true on the Chromebook? Bob
