15:30 <willmore> Hello, everyone. Is there an exynos based chromebook that is well supported?

15:31 <javier__> willmore: Snow (Exynos5250), Peach Pi (Exynos5800) and Pit (Exynos5420) are well supported

15:31 <willmore> I keep seeing the HP Chromebook.

15:32 <willmore> javier__, is the HP F3X85AA one of those?

15:33 <willmore> I guess that's 'spring'.

15:34 <javier__> willmore: I believe that's the Spring

15:34 <willmore> Ahh, The key to support seems to be samsung chromebooks.

15:34 <javier__> willmore: yes, there is support in mainline but I don't remember how complete it was

15:34 <javier__> for spring that is, afaerber should know more

15:34 <willmore> Okay, thank you. I"ll ignore the HP chromebooks and look for the Samsung ones.

15:34 <willmore> Thank you.

15:35 <willmore> I just want a well supported ARM based laptop and the exynos chromebooks are hard to pass up for the price. ;)

15:35 <javier__> willmore: yw, basically all peripherals are working besides audio speakers and jack

15:35 <willmore> javier__, for the Samsungs or the HP?

15:35 <javier__> for the Samsung, I don't know what's missing for the HP

15:35 <willmore> Okay, thanks.

15:36 <willmore> FWIW, on the linux-exynos wiki, the HP page looks more like it should have been left a red link--there's not anything non-template there. :(

15:36 <willmore> But, something is better than nothing.

15:38 <javier__> willmore: the linux-exynos wiki isn't an indication of the support in mainline for the machines

15:38 <javier__> maybe support for spring was finished, I can't remember the deatils and I never had access to one

15:39 <javier__> *details

15:39 <afaerber> javier__: it was working okay at some point, but my display has issues and the SD card stopped working and so far I've not had the patience to debug a new boot setup with a black screen ;(

15:39 <willmore> javier__, understood.

15:40 <willmore> Looks like 'snow' laptops are available for not much more than the HP.

15:43 <javier__> afaerber: fair enough :)

15:44 <javier__> willmore: if you get an Exynos Chromebook, I suggest you to read these blog posts: https://blogs.s-osg.org/install-linux-mainline-kernel-distro-exynos-chromebooks/ and https://blogs.s-osg.org/use-mainline-u-boot-non-signed-kernels-exynos-chromebooks/

15:46 <willmore> javier__, thanks for the info. I'll read them *before*. :)

15:48 <javier__> willmore: Ok :)

15:51 <willmore> Well, it's good to know where the corners are before you paint yourself into them. :)

15:57 <willmore> Looks pretty straight forward. Thanks for the links, javier__.

16:06 <javier__> willmore: yw

16:14 <willmore> And all of your work. ;)

16:15 <javier__> :)
