Depthboot: your Chromebook, your way
Choose between a variety of common Linux distributions and desktop environments to create a bootable image for any supported 64-bit Chromebook, without modifying firmware.

Due to licensing restraints Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be built locally.
Depthboot vs Mainline
(Mainline = stock, unmodified Linux distribution)
Mainline Linux:
- Requires either replacing firmware completely (UEFI) or changing a part of it (rw_legacy). Not all devices have both options and there is a slight risk of bricking the Chromebook.
- Some hardware may not work (touchscreen, touchpad, etc.)
- Audio is mostly unsupported.
Depthboot:
- Requires no modifications to firmware.
- Hardware support matches ChromeOS.
- Extensive audio support, with active development to bring further support.
