In terms of this article, the RK3288 is a 32bit ARM7.

I've also been looking at this. I think the Google Pixel C might be a good option, for a 64bit ARM laptop. I've seen some talk of running Ubuntu on it. But it uses the Nvidia TX1 which has good Ubuntu support on the TX1 Jetson.



I thought the Pixel C bootloader was looked. Do you have any pointers to instructions on how to boot Ubuntu on this machine?

The problem with ARM architectures is the lack of a standard boot system.


It is locked. There is a switch like with the Chromebooks, but to reach it you have to disassemble it. OTOH rooting and running custom kernels works. Not ideal but it works for some use-cases.

edit: The Pixel C runs on Coreboot of course.


Yep, but has anyone successfully installed Linux (aside from ChromeOS, obviously)?


UEFI is the standard firmware these days, at least for ARM servers.
